Summary
China is reportedly considering a plan for Elon Musk to acquire TikTok’s U.S. operations to avoid a potential ban, according to Bloomberg.
The move would satisfy a U.S. law requiring ByteDance to divest TikTok by Jan. 19 due to national security concerns.
If not resolved, U.S. service providers supporting TikTok could face penalties.
The plan, still preliminary, would have Musk oversee TikTok U.S. alongside X.
ByteDance’s awareness of the plan is unclear.
Well, that’s one way to get people to stop using it, I guess.
Most people aren’t as obsessed about Musk as your average Lemmy user
Nobody on lemmy is obsessed with numbnuts.
It’s less about people’s personal feelings about him and more that he turns everything he touches into a pile of shit that only a fanboy could love.
It’s not binary like that. Just because one doesn’t avoid everything he touches like the plague doesn’t mean they’re a fanboy then. Most people simply don’t care.
I mean, people care that the user experience goes downhill after he takes over. The only people claiming Twitter isn’t hot garbage are the ones who actively like him.
It was hot garbage before Musk and people still kept using it. The world is not binary like that.
