Elon Musk made statements about TikTok, which has recently been in danger of being banned. Stating that it would be good for X (or Twitter) to be banned, Musk stated that he had clear thoughts on this issue. So, according to Musk, should TikTok be banned?
Elon Musk: TikTok should not be banned in the USA
Elon Musk said in his post on Twitter the other day that it would be wrong to ban TikTok. In his post, he said, “Although such a ban would benefit the X platform, TikTok should not be banned in the USA. Doing so would be against freedom of speech and expression.”
Musk’s comments actually contradict the TikTok bans that have been occupying US politics for a while. According to the decision taken by the US House, TikTok’s parent company ByteDance must sell the rights of the platform to an American company. Otherwise, it could face a nationwide ban.
Tesla has updated the Model Y / Model X / Model S price due to the recent decrease in sales. Here are the details...
The bill, which is being discussed in the US House, will impose a great responsibility on ByteDance if approved. To keep the app in the US, it will have to transfer its rights in that region to a different company.
If ByteDance does not comply with this decision, it will also be defined as a national security threat to the USA. This indicates that more sanctions may be on the way for the company.
However, the Chinese company stated that the ban would harm the US economy and restrict freedom of expression. US officials stated that they had concerns about the application’s processing of user data.
Musk’s posts contradict the US administration’s opinion. He doesn’t recommend banning TikTok, even though it benefits X.
