I wonder how Bloomberg even got this hint if Bytedance denies it??? Perhaps Elon sent it anonymously.

But that would be a good way for China to get more than it’s really worth!

this has been (seemingly) fraudulently shared all over legacy media and i wonder if narrative control to give my government deniability that they’re not the “meanies” that killed tiktok.

Would Musk even have the Liquid Capital to do so?

Would that matter in a world where he has the power of the executive branch? Please, there’s no such thing as “limitations”, “consequences” or “repercussions” for these mentally unstable, rich ass holes. They quite obviously live in a different reality than the rest of us.

Oh I’m aware, but I’m genuinely curious if he’s in a financial setting where he even can buy Tik Tok if he wanted to.

Guy bought the U.S government, I’m sure he can figure something out
