FWIW I think he genuinely does not want to repeal the bill. He likes being in a position to broker an acquisition where large amounts of money depend on his say-so and backed by state force to exclude them from the market until he does.

How is Musk not shadow financing something like this already. Wish we could have a view of all the burner phone and encrypted app comms on this. Trump seems convinced his whole comms strategy is dependent on tiktok.
ISTM media platforms sometimes have the juice and sometimes don't, but every day TikTok is offline makes it likelier that producers will switch to a different platform and consumers will forget to click on the app.
We all know how this would play out. Oracle of another company will agree to keep TikTok alive only for Trump to become aggrieved in like 2 months and sic his Repub flying monkeys on them (Justice, congressional hearings, et al). There's no way he keeps his word.
This is probably true. Especially as long as he controls the Justice Dept. and has Congress in his back pocket. It doesn't really matter how blatantly illegal any action is if no institution will enforce the law.
We all know that the only way this law is enforced is if a company displeases Trump.
