Yes, TikTok shut down in accordance with the law passed by Congress. It came back online when the POTUS-elect announced that he would issue an executive order suspending the ban … and dismissing the concerns of the Senate and House that TikTok is an intelligence gathering platform.
Of course, the kicker is that the ban is suspended so that Vice-President Musk can negotiate a favourable deal to acquire part ownership of TikTok.
It will be an interesting test of the POTUS-elect to see if Congress goes along with his executive order. It could well be the start of a very rocky four years with Congress knocking out many of Aurangzeb’s lunatic plans.
I wonder how Elon will tackle the Chinese spying concerns. He’s not beholden to Xi like Aurangzeb is, but like Aurangzeb, he’s motivated by what’s best for him, rather than any patriotic ideals.
There’s an interesting clip doing the rounds and showing Elon and his brother talking about the government grant that set them up. Brother Kimbal makes it perfectly clear that they received the grant when they were illegal immigrants. Double standards much?
It’s interesting to hear what MAGA supporters are saying now. I don’t think there’s been as much buyer’s remorse since the P76 was scrapped.
