Lmao, the USA doesn’t operate the commercial sector outside of power, trains, rockets, and planes. It won’t benefit from the sale in any way other than lowering Chinese involvement.
The US government works for the billionaires that run the economy. Many billionaires want to buy tiktok. In fact, there’s already teams of people set up for buying out tiktok. The government is just the tool for the hostile acquisition. No one said the US government is directly purchasing tiktok.
They’re not at all opposing forces. Some billionaires are in competition with each other and political parties are tools at certain billionaires disposal.
The act of taxing income is but one political mechanism used to influence the power of some billionaires over another.
I’m not sure I understand your question. They are both pro-government. If any one human could be the personification of government, it would be the President of the United States.
So every billionaire is pro-government, and against taxation, but also pro-taxation to hurt the other billionaires (each other) but also the political party with a platform of “Tax the Rich” is in no way actually opposed to the political party who literally cuts taxes for the rich?
Build your own inferences off of what someone has said. Chasing them down for clarity or elaboration wastes words. Just fill in your best guess, mention it, and move on. They can correct if they suddenly care.
So just over 4% of the worlds population is making up 10% of the usage. I suppose the owners shouldn’t care about that sliver of the users. They should care more about the smaller slivers, got it.
Tiktok is one of the largest social media apps on earth, they’re not selling it over a sliver. Why does it matter how much bigger the sliver is than the other ones? Are you stupid?
“TikTok” is an American Company. Their owners, ByteDance, also own a nearly identical product in china called 抖音 (Douyin). The Chinese version is much more closely operated by the military, their offices are literally military owned buildings and lots.
They’re technically not banning tiktok, they’re banning China from owning tiktok
They’re functionally forcing the sale of the company to a US Firm at fire sale prices.
Yeah, you are right. They should do like they do in China, sell to a JV with a local company at fire sales price… Oh wait
The Chinese policy is to share ownership with locals, so that a firm isn’t simply extracting wealth from the Chinese market.
The American policy is to seize a pre-existing firm after it has developed, by accusing its Singapore founder of being a secret Chinese Communist.
This is primarily intended as a hostile buyout of tiktok. It has literally nothing to do with China.

The US Government and Billionaires are opposing forces, one political party wants to tax billionaires while the other is on the payroll.

So which of these shadow government billionaires is pro-government in your eyes?

You should see a doctor.
They’re not going to sell though. The US only makes up a single-digit % of their users.
The USA is the biggest single market

Nothing I said is incorrect.
Didn’t disagree with you
Then you agree that they’re not going to sell? What does being the largest single market have to do with this? Fucking make a point, dude.
Then you have no point? They’re not going to sell their money machine because a tiny fraction of it went away.

Calm the fuck down dude, jesus christ. Go touch grass
Still not a point 👍

Bruh have a beer and calm tf down
Do you have a source for that?
This seems to claim the most users are from the U.S.
China doesn’t use the same product. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1299807/number-of-monthly-unique-tiktok-users/
Your source is fine 👍
Yours says that ~90% of their users are not from the US.
Despite the US being Tiktoks largest single-country user base they still only make up a sliver of their monthly-active users.

Yes
Me too

How much of their ad revenue comes from America though?
