#Amazon’s bid highlights the 11th-hour maneuvering in Washington over #TikTok’s ownership. Policymakers in both parties have expressed deep #NationalSecurity concerns over the app’s Chinese ownership, & passed a #law last year to force a sale of TikTok that was set to take effect in Jan.

Pourquoi Donald Trump veut absolument sauver TikTok
@etatsunis
https://www.lepoint.fr/monde/pourquoi-donald-trump-veut-absolument-sauver-tiktok-10-01-2025-2579629_24.phpAutrefois fervent partisan de l’interdiction de TikTok, Trump s’est métamorphosé en ardent défenseur. Un revirement dû à son influence sur le réseau social chinois et au lobbying discret d’un milliardaire…

Chińskie zakupy materiałów do półprzewodników przed powrotem Trumpem
Osobiście nie jestem pewnie, czy Trump od razu wejdzie na ścieżkę szybkiej konfrontacji handlowej i technologicznej z Chinami. Wydaje mi się obecnie otorbiony ludźmi jak Elon Musk czy Jeff Yass, mocno zależnymi od chińskiego rynku. Ten ostatni jest dużym sponsorem Republikanów i równocześnie inwestorem w ByteDance, właściciela TikTok.

#SCOTUS to hear challenge to banning #TikTok in the #UnitedStates
The justices [uncharacteristically] will quickly take up the constitutionality of a federal #law that would shutter TikTok next month unless the company divests from Chinese ownership.[The #Republican majority court’s decision comes in the wake of #Trump reversing his opposition to TikTok after meeting with megadonor #JeffYass who has a 15% stake in #ByteDance]

…that’ll only work if #Trump has confidence in his #platform & doesn’t dump a bunch of #stock, or even give a hint he’s thinking of doing such a thing (like by requesting a waiver), which would scare smaller-scale #investors, piss off #JeffYass, & send #TrumpMedia’s valuation plummeting.
…Does Trump have that kind of confidence in his platform?…he still needs money, fast, & not just because he might not have enough liquid cash to even cover the reduced $175M #bond he needs to pay off by April 4. -
#JeffYass’s firm holds a 2% stake in #DWAC &, considering its other assets, can afford some hits as long as #Yass gets to own the libs.
On #TrumpMedia’s end, its current board of directors is hardly lacking in wealth, or loyalty: The CEO is fmr Rep #DevinNunes, & his teammates include #DonaldTrumpJr + fmr #Trump admin members #KashPatel, #RobertLighthizer, & Linda McMahon (as in, yes, the wife of embattled wrestling magnate Vince McMahon).

You may be wondering just whence that staggering #valuation arises,then. There are a couple factors at play—namely, rich friends & retail-level suckers.
…As a #ShellCompany established w/the express purpose of gathering #investments & absorbing them into the minimally operational #TrumpMedia, #DWAC curried investments from all manner of private institutions,most significantly #SIG… meaning #JeffYass, the #Republican #megadonor who’s been floated as potential #treasury sec if #Trump is reelected. -
"If Yass dumps the stock quickly, it could precipitate a broader sell-off that could dramatically reduce the value of Trump's holdings. In other words, Trump has a large personal financial interest in keeping Yass happy."

"This is where Yass comes in. Most people who currently hold stock in the DWAC, which will soon merge with TMTG, are individual retail investors who support Trump. But the stock's largest institutional investor, which owns more than 2% of the firm, is Susquehanna International Group, Yass' firm."

“Jeff Yass, the billionaire Wall Street financier and Republican megadonor who is a major investor in the parent company of TikTok, was also the biggest institutional shareholder of the shell company that recently merged with former President Donald J. Trump’s social media company.”

"Many have pointed out the curious timing of [Trump's] reversal [on TikTok], which he announced soon after he met with Jeff Yass. Yass is a hedge fund manager, Republican megadonor, and the holder of a significant stake in ByteDance, which is now fighting tooth and nail against Congress’s efforts to limit or ban the app and reduce its significant influence on the public."
~ Joe Perticone
Short story: Trump needs money and is for sale.

#Bannon Suggests #Trump Has Been Bought
…Despite his past stances in favor of action against #TikTok for its #Chinese ties, Trump…wrote in a…post…that he opposed the recent bill:
"If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook & Zuckerschmuck [Mark Zuckerberg] will double their business. I don't want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!"…reports note that Trump’s shift came after a meeting w/ #JeffYass
