Selling TikTok to a US person, persons or entity would solve that problem, obviously.<\/p>\n<p>Signing half of TikTok over to the US government in the process is a typically Trumpian spin on that solution. Never does the President turn down an opportunity for a bit of grift.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have an asset that has no value or has a trillion-dollar value,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt all depends on whether or not the United States gives the permit.\u201d The implication there is that the US government deserves a cut because in allowing TikTok to operate, it gives the social media app value.<\/p>\n<p>But then that could apply to almost anything the government allows to operate. The net result regarding TikTok specifically would be the rather odd scenario of the US government getting involved in the ownership of big tech and social media.<\/p>\n<p>Although Trump&#8217;s broader political positioning does admittedly defy easy generalizations, state ownership of major social media surely doesn&#8217;t sit comfortably with his unambiguously pro-business agenda.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, TikTok went offline briefly in the US over the weekend before Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office, bequeathing TikTok a 75 day extension to comply with the new law.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not actually clear that Trump has the authority to do that. But if Trump&#8217;s executive order concerning TikTok were to be disputed in the courts, by time that&#8217;s escalated up to the Supremes, as seems inevitable, the whole circus could well be over anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg reports that TikTok owner ByteDance remains firm in its resolve not to sell. But some obsevers think that a deal to acquire the social media platform minus its apparently &#8220;coveted&#8221; content algorithm could be a goer.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, among other potential suitors is none other than uber YouTuber MrBeast, who Bloomberg says is part of a group of US investors who announced a bid earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>Exactly where this all ends is anyone&#8217;s guess. In normal times, one might assume that the likes of Musk, for instance, owning both X and TikTok could be a monopoly concern for antitrust authroities. But given Musk&#8217;s current close relationship with Trump, presumably that wouldn&#8217;t apply.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s likewise unclear how serious Trump is about the US government ending up with a stack. I guess all will be known within 75 days. Or will it?<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"506a34ca-261a-4113-b08b-bcbe65ac1452\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best CPU for gaming\" data-dimension48=\"Best CPU for gaming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6YnzywGGRfcnNjLz2FRjx9\" name=\"1646306533.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/trump-likes-the-idea-of-elon-musk-or-larry-ellison-buying-tiktok-but-thinks-the-us-government-should-get-half-of-the-social-media-app-in-the-bargain.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-cpu-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"506a34ca-261a-4113-b08b-bcbe65ac1452\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best CPU for gaming\" data-dimension48=\"Best CPU for gaming\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Best CPU for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: Top chips from Intel and AMD.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-motherboards\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best gaming motherboard<\/strong><\/a>: The right boards.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-graphics-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best graphics card<\/strong><\/a>: Your perfect pixel-pusher awaits.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-ssd-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best SSD for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: Get into the game first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/trump-likes-the-idea-of-elon-musk-or-larry-ellison-buying-tiktok-but-thinks-the-us-government-should-get-half-of-the-social-media-app-in-the-bargain\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Second-time leader of the free world Donald J.
