Chinese officials are evaluating a potential option that involves Elon Musk acquiring the US operations of TikTok if the company fails to fend off a controversial ban on the short-video app, according to people familiar with the matter.
Musk lost a lot of money on his last social media company purchase, Twitter, after spending some time in court trying to abort the purchase. I’m not at all sure that he wants to buy another social media company.
It was and never will be about how much it cost or lost.
It was always about the dismantling of lefty spaces, the control of speech, and a pulpit to announce his decrees as a disciple of baphomet and kek.
170 million Americans and all their data suddenly under his authority would be worth more than you could imagine. That worth would not be in any currency.
He got so much more out of Twitter than we could have imagined, he lit the USA on fire with it, that’s worth much more than the couple of billion lost. I think TikTok is even more powerful than Twitter.
It’s a match made in heaven, win, win, win for every autocrat involved.
Twitter ended up inadvertently turning to his favor though. It has turned into even more of a hotbed for unchecked, uneducated and loud morons from alt-right/qanon/incel/republicans.
He gets TikTok though, it’ll just be another platform to blast full volume even more.
The guy is stupid rich, he could theoretically buy Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp and Reddit if he wanted to. He’s just not choosing to at this time.

Hmm these “allies” appear to be unreliable, I wonder why
