Tik Tok Being BOUGHT by Elon Musk?! Chinese Propaganda or Social Media BLOCKBUSTER?!

[@Wakerverse]

People use to be addicted to illegal narcotics! Now they're addicted to a freaking app! Lol wtf

[@shubhamer2000]

It was better to be high in heaven then to be high by BRIAN ROT😂😂😂

[@RolandDeschainee]

apps designed to promote increasing dopamine levels are IMO narcotics

[@louv3347]

Social media is brain rot and mental illness.

[@shadowbeast2276]

Go figure. Not that their addiction wasn't inevitable, unpredictable. It's just the more recent addiction of choice

[@tenchraven]

Might want to get an education before you laugh. You can get addicted to any behavior that gives positive feedback, and short form social media gives endorphin hits like small stakes gambling.

[@gabriellundes7062]

Elon buying Tiktok would be nothing short of hilarious.

[@ceevis7286]

It be nothing short one-world globalist type behavior “the one everything app?” think about what that really means, you know Musk is “Jesuit Operative” 😒

[@RaymondSwanson-u9y]

And redundent.

[@Fire-n-Ice]

Please don't buy tiktok. Our country will be a better place without it.

[@kipolem53]

Kinda but I will argue that Tiktok is a good place for business at least, one woman got her indie made coloring books really popping due to posting on Tiktok daily for three months.

[@James_Ford4815]

everyone is just migrating to similar platforms. nothing is going to change if tikt0k is here or not

[@AndrewColomy]

I wanna see him ban the freaks from the platform. Get all the child groomers like Jeffrey Marsh off the platform.

[@Pyrate_Of_Las_Vegas]

Why doesnt Elon Musk just restart and rebrand Vine?

[@jchapman8248]

Makes sense. Why reinvent the wheel?

[@tejimun8941]

My belief, the user base that exists with accounts on Tim Tim surpass vine. Has a market place and set features its users were using or were being used and already available that vine does not have

[@spectrumgamer21YT]

Vine was so cool as hell! Please make it happen!

[@17dm7]

Kevin O'Leary wants to buy TikTok as well. He may just get it.

[@Petulant_Kragg]

Id hope he doesnt buy it but someone else does Edit: children shouldn't even be on the internet to begin with they should be outside playing having an actual childhood

[@RolandDeschainee]

the internet should be age restricted like age of consent, drivers license, the drinking age, voting etc.

[@louv3347]

That ship has sailed. Children brains have been rewired and eventually will just sit in front of computers, tv, phones and tablets all day long.

[@kipolem53]

I got ads for Gabb around Decemberish about this very issue, in the ad one of the preteen actresses claimed (as her character) that she missed her own birthday scrolling on Tiktok.

[@RevanR]

As much as we meming it to become real, I don't see any strategic value from purchasing this platform.

[@Galistia]

It gives Israel access to spy on us, using Elon as the proxy (just look at his recent Israeli propaganda). Just like Israel does to our government, using the members as a proxy for their bidding.

[@soaringeagle5418]

The data without the algorithm has little value. That's why the few people that have made an offer have made such a low bid.

[@HickoryChip0]

TikTok adds nothing for him MSNBC would be more valuable.

[@wiseguy0083]

Except he would have to go through the anti trust laws first to see if he can, considering everything he owns and this would make it a monopoly.

[@adventuresintvland]

Why would Elon Musk buy TikTok when he owns Vine? He should just resurrect Vine

[@BowsettesFury]

This is why I call Elon an idiot. He’s smart enough to build a microwave but not know how to use one.

[@jojo_sanders5342]

He's very smart but with average wisdom stats

[@moneymikz]

X owns Vines, just bring that back

[@DarthApathy]

Here to say the Sunday is my birthday and a TikTok ban is the best present ever

[@Malcolm.Y]

Just as soon as he finishes buying MS-NBC.

[@SandyKohlndorfer]

I pray Elon musk buys Disney 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️🇺🇲❤️🤍💙

[@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9r]

Elon Musk is collecting social media platforms like Infinity Stones lol

[@PinkTigger33]

Don't do it, Elon!

[@hamdinger7145]

Elon Musk will buy That Lorn Place

[@iamgroot4063]

That would be Epic 8D chess Elon is playing. One hell of a checkmate.

[@cortezjames1288]

I hope he doesn't buy that😊 I want tik Tok gone

[@goldenbear-hv5yu]

I’m not going back to Disney or buy anything Disney for what they did with Star Wars at the box office.

[@BowsettesFury]

Don’t complain about musk having business in China dang near all of your streaming equipment is made in China. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jonnellburgess3437]

No Keven Oleary wants to buy it

[@tinalee5162]

Yea Elon

[@Always_Thinking]

O'Leary & Frank Mccourt (LA Dodgers owner) are also prepared to bid on TikTok

[@shirleyfreeders]

Great job Elon Musk thank you

[@MrGabeanator]

Elon to the rescue wow

[@anotterwithaphone3077]

Elon should just restart Vine.

[@tjcarr8097]

Our own country spies on us. Just putting that out there

[@angelacurry5793]

Dirty Rotten Commie!

[@freakingweiner]

Elon you need to buy a film company (like Disney), not another social media platform. It’s become an addiction like nicotine.

[@dawnofthewalkers4915]

Would make since with trump talking about a 90 day extension and him and Elon being good friends.

[@kirkmilliren9218]

Tictok needs to be banned, no questions asked, no second thoughts about it!

[@Leamichellefan2244]

I have to agree with you on that and honestly, I don’t think he’s buying it. I really don’t think he’s buying it.

[@James_Ford4815]

time to buy would of been 1 - 2 months ago because everyone has already started fleeing to other similar platforms

[@kipolem53]

Which are also made by China, not to mention one of them if you sign up for it you are basically embracing communism, the NAME of the site says the users hate freedom. The other one, Lemon8, cannot say but the fact that Bytedance owns and made it is very bad in all honesty.

[@williamsisk2897]

From my understanding, Australia is watching to see how the US nationally bans Tik Tok and replicate it to ban X in Australia.

[@louv3347]

Australia should ban X. Aussies ruin X. Get them off.

[@christiancorralejo8726]

Doesn’t Twitter/X already have Vines which is basically TikTok without the CCP?

[@james449g]

If he did buy it that would be an outstanding thing because he's a buddy of Trump

[@SandyKohlndorfer]

I hope Elon musk buys Disney And fires? Bob iger and fires those women on The view they all need to go

[@Hedgehobbit]

Why would Elon buy Tiktok when he already owns Vines?

[@bignick47331]

Would be genius on his part considering how popular it is but why would he when he could simply integrate clips into x

[@fredlusyk6741]

...if Elon buys it, it'll be called "tiX toX"...? 👽 🖖 🤖

[@Garymoffatblues]

Would make sense as tiktok is where younger folks get their news

[@alexdavis-mann8513]

why are you even covering this obvious lie but bloomberg.

[@JHONSON1190]

Esse elon musk vai falir o tik tok como ele fez com o twitter, ele comprou o Twitter por 44 BILHÕES, e hoje o twitter vale 9 BILHÕES, ele fez o twitter perder 75% do valor de mercado ,esse cara só ferra as coisas , 😂

[@rockheadregolith8325]

Tesla Gigafactory Shanghai???

[@easter_sunday]

Elon should buy it so he can offer brain chips and artificial junk for the magical rainbow people.

[@LEXX790]

I want this to happen only because many tik tokers probably hate musk more than is healthy and it would drive them bananas!

[@sheelahspagnola8182]

Mmm 😊

[@justinn1901]

Should Elon call it X-Tic ? or X-Toc?

[@BowsettesFury]

Xic-Xoc

[@varkesh456]

I would also assume there would be a possible regulatory barrier as right now short form video content made by users is a very singular market If it is viewed as content creation it could be viewed simular to youtube but youtube holds the edge due to payment...but is still only a market of 2. So twitter/x getting in on that grough purchase might even pass current anti market rules espically as those that run that at the moment have a real hate on for any large group/company getting qnymore stuff...pf course the ability to prove that it is bad is qiestionable

[@midriffzero]

KZbin isn't the only video hosting website. There is Rumble and 18 others on the english speaking market.

[@larry1873]

Good good BYE

[@fhatty11]

Why would Elon Musk buy tiktok? he alrealdy has Vine which could be argued that tiktok copied.

[@Zthezombie]

1:09

[@ratkatzcorner777]

ByteDance showed no interest in being sold and even if it did, it refuses to give up it's algrothim which means they'd have to start from scratch and it would be a whole new different platform anyway. and guessing if Musk ever bought it, well firstly I still wouldn't go on it....I'm not doing more of his "pay to win" thing. what next "you want 3-5 minutes? Pay 8$ a month!" yeah no. and I'm going to guess he'd rename it to T or TXT or something because he has the weirdest arsch names for things.....I feel bad for his kids all named dumb-like. so really all in all whether or not tiktok get's sold, it'll always be a different platform, and new rules for it since unlike China, america has rules against usually filming crime.....and then calling it "pranks" so it's an already dead platform.

[@LocomotiveThought]

[@ninersix2790]

Click Bait.

[@RandallStevenson]

Elon saving TikTok won't help, just look what happened when he bought Twitter.

[@BowsettesFury]

Yeah it became better only slightly but still making snowflakes like you cry. 😆

[@RandallStevenson]

@@BowsettesFury oh my, someone's making wild assumptions.

[@stingray427man]

Chinese government said not for sale & I’m going to be pissed if it gets used against America as a concession (@ U Trump)

[@James_Ford4815]

The Chinese gov doesn't own it though , it's a single Chinese citizen who lives in Singapore who owns it

[@stingray427man]

@ just like what they did to Jack Ma, yeah sure thing lol

[@sqoobie]

propaganda for sure. what the hell would elon want with tik tok.

[@angelacurry5793]

Culture casino is dumb!
