The anti trust system has failed completely.
Of course. But on the other hand: Who else would?
It's not like Bob from Des Moines is going to find $100 billion behind the sofa cushions to buy it. There aren't that many companies with much higher valuations.
Oracle has been the most involved player for TikTok up to this point. Trump has also floated the idea of being government-owned.
They want to privatize the post office but make TikTok government owned... JFC...
Government owned under Musk. Basically Musk wants to control it while we pay for it.
Disgusting.
