I sincerely hope they just walk away from the US.
US TikTok is not available in China. Nor is FB, IG, X, WSJ, NYT, Google, Bloomberg, etc. I see no reason why TT should be allowed in the US.
TikTok is worth 300billion dollars. No one can raise that type of money. Musk struggled to raise the 40 billion for Twitter and had to sell Tesla shares to cover half of it
His net worth is now 400 billion, and the value of TikTok should decrease without the US
Either they sell it to Elon or sell it for nothing.
I predict it will go dark for a few weeks or months while they negotiate new privacy/data guardrails. It might come back under a different brand to satisfy the politicians who don’t know or care about the tech enough to understand it won’t be much different. The “new” company will provide an upload feature to easily transfer data.
By that time it won’t be the same because everyone will have migrated to another platform - whether it’s Bluesky or another company that can replicate a similar experience.

Why on earth would it have to be sold to a US company? That part is confusing. Can an Italian company buy it? South African? Turkish? Argentinian? Will we trust it then?
