Na, 10 bucks says it’s Elon he saw how much mileage he got out of Twitter so why not? Just think of the new damage he could do with TikTok.
You mean XikXok :)
I think Xvideos.

Ugh, god he would do that too.
Its still gonna have backdoor code to China.
So its Russia, China, and Kremlin's Satelite Regime the USA, the Unholy Trinity of evil nations.
Why not both? And the Americans too, of course.
Or both...
Ah, so now the president chooses who gets to buy which businesses, totally not choosing the ones who will cock suck him all day.
And TikTok will not be the last. Now a wealthy person can just ask the US to buy up something. Doesnt sound like Russia at all.
I mean, there already was this functionality, but the rule was you couldn't disrupt the market or make a monopoly or something like that idk I've done like two mergers I'm not exactly a specialist.
In order to make sure they were wealthy enough, I'm sure he personally tested them one by one, challenging to send him a big donation in cryptocurrencies.

Yup, just like we were going to wait 2 weeks to decide whether to engage with Iran, or get trade deals during the temporary tariff lift. So much trust right now.
How profound! I would have thought a group of poor people were sure to snag it up.
All Russias, I'm guessing
Aaaaand the winner is:
A group of North Korean “business men”.
Narrator: "he didn't"
I can’t believe he knows anybody like that. You think you know somebody…
Bet it’s the Moonies. They’re cashed up and all over right-wing politics across the world.
Hi yet your diapers have changed, cheeto.
