Of course. Elites can’t enough of worshipping this fat orange pig.

leslieaagu.bsky.social•2 days ago

doesn't he already have his very own platform on to which he spews his libel?

jimmyg303.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good thing everyone has already got their red book accounts set up.

What I don’t understand is how this affects international users. I have tik tok because I feel better about china than mark Zuckerberg. I want nothing to do with oracle or any US company that buys it

peterblackstocksd.bsky.social•2 days ago

Makes for a catchy slogan at least:

Fuk Tik Tok!

After all, this group of fascist oligarch Bond villains are the potential buyers:

No it won’t he created this problem top to bottom, he can not get credit for putting a fire out he started~~

sarahjanesays.bsky.social•2 days ago

As if it wasn’t already when they put that cringey thank you message to Trump when they came back online? Their goose was cooked from then on.

Thanks to Biden

So basically it will be just like the current Chinese operated version, but American.

jessicajsalmon.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m not sure I understand how the US can force a Chinese owner to sell them TikTok. It’s like saying to Japan you have to sell us Honda or Toyota. Why would they?

I can't believe anyone still believes money buys you happiness. These MAGAt billionaires are the most miserable bunch of losers I've ever seen

just-michelle.bsky.social•1 day ago

They don’t claim money buys them happiness. They do claim that money gives them enough power to be above the law, and the freedom to do as they please, no matter who dies as a result. It’s logic, and it’s more helpful than insults.

dnrdiamond.bsky.social•1 day ago

I love getting in arguments with strangers. Not. Are you saying money buys you happiness isn't a cliche 🤣

boudica24.bsky.social•2 days ago

TikTok is already cooked. The bots have taken over exactly the same as on X.

shihtzumommy1977.bsky.social•1 day ago

Exactly so whoever stays on TikTok, I guess you consider him your king and you’re willing to bend the knee #TikTok #Trump

lpeterp.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why. By what right does the felon insert himself in private industry?

kevsullivan.bsky.social•2 days ago

And you know he will find some way to make $ on the deal.

5plume.bsky.social•2 days ago

Users gotta grow out of it sometime, I'd think.

rclendan.bsky.social•2 days ago

Then it should die.

dmvbizman.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, I'm sure TikTok will do just as well as Tesla in this new environment.

Especially when BlueSky is about to launch their own competitor version of TikTok. https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/01/mark-cuban-backs-skylight-a-tiktok-alternative-built-on-blueskys-underlying-technology/

lisamichelle.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s already launched, look got Skylight Social in App Store. Can sign in with this account. It’s not great yet but I’ve been curating my fyp for years on tiktok so will take time as creators move over

wokegrandma1.bsky.social•2 days ago

Has Byte Dance and China agreed to sell TikTok’s US Operations to a US company? Have they even agreed to the concept of selling?

fu-elon.bsky.social•2 days ago

You are spot on there. He will make sure he has control.

oliverdarcy.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Republican Party, once locked in a bitter war with Big Tech over supposed censorship and bias, now exerts extraordinary influence over Silicon Valley's titans. https://www.status.news/p/donald-trump-tiktok-takeover

ortz.bsky.social•2 days ago

The censorship claims were always BS. Abusing their power to work the refs.

catherine292862.bsky.social•2 days ago

The GOP no longer exists. It is the Fascist Party.

blueoddball.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s the same with this as all the other supposed bias issues: gerrymandering, campaign finance, “censorship”, corporate intervention in politics. They don’t want a level playing field, they want to dominate.

jtunes6.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is a huge problem, right, if the RW has captured virtually all major social media platforms. Seems like we're screwed. Recently it seems facebook has even censored / shadow-banned political historian Heather Cox Richardson's posts, which may be left-leaning but fact & history based & rational.🤦🏼‍♂️

Everything they say is a lie. They don’t care about babies, they don’t care about anything

skeeter65.bsky.social•2 days ago

Tech bros are cucks.

garysnyder.bsky.social•2 days ago

TikTok isn't a saleable asset. It's very much a part of the Chinese Communist Party's apparatus for monitoring and influencing domestic & international populations. Sure, they'll take one of our oligarch's money to be a 'make-believe' owner. Their preference is Larry Ellison, an existing #CCP asset.

sparkesw.bsky.social•2 days ago

I honestly think all social media is a toxic dump. Bluesky less than the rest. And I should just stop and read a book. But it entices me.

moongirlsusie.bsky.social•2 days ago

Conservatives are hell-bound to control our social media. X, Meta, now TikTok.
I no longer use FB and never used the others.
And now I'll make sure I never will.

aaw3268.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yep

incandenzak.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well fuck that then?
