    ah, so now instead of China spying on TikTok users, it will be Russia spying on TikTok users.

      Na, 10 bucks says it’s Elon he saw how much mileage he got out of Twitter so why not? Just think of the new damage he could do with TikTok.

    Ah, so now the president chooses who gets to buy which businesses, totally not choosing the ones who will cock suck him all day.

    And TikTok will not be the last.

      I mean, there already was this functionality, but the rule was you couldn’t disrupt the market or make a monopoly or something like that idk I’ve done like two mergers I’m not exactly a specialist.

    In order to make sure they were wealthy enough, I’m sure he personally tested them one by one, challenging to send him a big donation in cryptocurrencies.

    That’s what a committed President-slash-genius looks like!

    Totally, and the deal’s going to happen in two weeks. Definitely two weeks.

      Yup, just like we were going to wait 2 weeks to decide whether to engage with Iran, or get trade deals during the temporary tariff lift. So much trust right now.

    How profound! I would have thought a group of poor people were sure to snag it up.
