The social media world is shaking with a striking claim about TikTok and US operations: It has been suggested that China plans to transfer the application’s activities in the US to Elon Musk. With the statement from the TikTok front, the discussions gained a new dimension. Here are the details…
TikTok: ‘Elon Musk claims are completely fabricated!’
According to recent rumours, Chinese authorities are working on a scenario for the sale of TikTok’s US operations. Allegedly, if the US Supreme Court approves the ban on TikTok, the company could transfer its operations to Elon Musk, one of the richest people in the world. However, TikTok spokesperson told the BBC, ‘This is a completely fabricated scenario. We cannot be expected to comment on such a situation.’
The US Supreme Court is preparing to rule on the future of the 19 January law that TikTok must sell or ban US operations. The decision from the court will determine the fate of the social media giant.
The US government defends the ban, arguing that TikTok could be used by China as a tool for espionage and political manipulation. TikTok has repeatedly rejected these claims and argued that the law violates users’ rights to freedom of expression.
It is also noteworthy that former US President Donald Trump will return to the White House on 20 January… Trump met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at his Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida last month. It is stated that Trump is against the banning of TikTok and is seeking a political solution.
The decision of the US Supreme Court seems to determine the fate of TikTok. So, what do you think about this? If TikTok’s US operations are sold to Musk, how will this affect the social media world? Don’t forget to share your opinions in the comments!
