A new disclosure reveals Instagram owner Meta spent more than ever on lobbing Congress and the White House as legislation to potentially ban its competitor, TikTok, was drawn up and passed.
ByteDance has a lot of money. Trump likes money. Trump’s only leverage over ByteDance is allowing TikTok, so he’ll do that in exchange for money
Zuckerberg and Meta are much more centralized in the US, which gives Trump far more options in terms of what he can offer them. Trump will give Zuckerberg something else to placate him. Probably lots of cheap H-1B labor
If you haven’t noticed Trump says a lot of things. He’s always talking out of both sides of his mouth. I’ll believe it when I see it, we’ll see tomorrow. Also, a delay is not overturning it.
Which makes the whole thing so transparent considering Trump literally couldn’t have done anything as he’s still not president yet… The whole thing was a stunt.
Why does everyone think Trumps going to allow Tiktok. He doesn’t like China, and Musk is going to push him to ban it so he can buy it.

Who asked for a 50% stake in the company.
You’re partially right. Trump originally wanted to ban TikTok because “China.”
However, the platform’s influence on younger voters supposedly helped him to win the election, so he now favors it.
No surprise that Trump’s personal needs are far more important than real US security.
