    In total, the transition said it raised slightly >$14M, but did not specify how much each donor contributed. It said $13.7M was spent on the transition.

    i understand why people use #tikTok:

    easy to use, works, the immediacy of video

    but it's controlled by a totalitarian govt

    and #jeffYass

    the largest #GOP donor

    who also funded an #israel right wing think tank to help #netanyahu stay in power

    when someone posts pro-#palestine content or anti-#ICE content to tik tok:

    1. they are feeding what they are fighting

    2. they are abrogating their privacy to their enemy

    3. they trust their foe to control their content and their feed

  4. @KitsuneVixi @me_valentijn @mls14 @heidilifeldman

    You mean the #Tiktok whose cofounder and major stake holder is #JeffYass, *the* largest donor to the #GOP and who helped fund an #Israel right wing think tank to warp the judiciary so #Netanyahu could stay in power past his legal troubles?

    That Tiktok where airhead leftists are being spied on and having their messages controlled and manipulated by such ownership?

    What a fucked up world

  5. @mistergibson @Doppelganger75 @ApAlun @vfrmedia @freeagent @Crispius @fedilore

    i had an argument here awhile ago with someone defending #Palestinian advocacy groups using #Tiktok

    #Tiktok is partly owned by a guy who also funds #rightWing #Likud thinktanks in #Israel

    and he's the largest donor to the #GOP: #JeffYass

    why the fuck do they trust that!?

    it's like "please track me"

    da fuq?

  6. #Trump, who has pledged repeatedly to save the app despite the security concerns [he received a huge donation from #JeffYass, who owns a significant stake in #TikTok parent co #ByteDance], delayed the enforcement of that #law until Sat, even after it was unanimously upheld by #SCOTUS.

    #USpol #broligarchy #Amazon #JeffBezos #tech #Antitrust

  7. #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.

    lies

    #tiktok major stakeholder and the guy who helped found it with his money is *the* largest #GOP donor and funds a #rightwing thinktank in #Israel to warp the judiciary and keep #netanyahu in power:

    #jeffyass

    theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a

    #tiktok is no friend of #Palestine

    #tiktok is no friend to #activism

    Never was

    Anyone who believes otherwise is being played for a fool, spied on and manipulated, helping everything they stand against

    #tiktokban

  9. @squared99

    Why do you believe this?

    #Tiktok's major shareholder, the guy who helped fund it initially, is #JeffYass, the *largest* #GOP donor

    He gave money to a rightwing #Israel thinktank to warp the Israeli judiciary to keep #Netanyahu in power:

    tiktok money. Money earned off tiktok users

    It's spying on you. It's manipulating your feed

    And you think it is on your side?

    Why are people so utterly deluded about what tiktok is?

  10. Pourquoi Donald Trump veut absolument sauver TikTok

    @etatsunis
    lepoint.fr/monde/pourquoi-dona

    Autrefois 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…

    #DonaldTrump #Tiktok #Chine #USA #EtatsUnis #JeffYass

  11. 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.

  12. #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]

  13. @rexi

    #tiktok was initially funded by, and he still has a huge stake in it: #jeffyass

    nymag.com/intelligencer/articl

    jeff yass helped fund a #rightwing #israel think tank to warp the judiciary to help #netanyahu

    jeff yass is *the biggest #GOP #Republican donor*

    the idea of tiktok being #leftwing #left friendly is a fucking joke

    kill tiktok

  14. @evacide

    false

    #trump was against #tiktok

    then he spoke to #jeffyass and changed his mind

    jeff yass is the largest #Republican #GOP donor

    jeff yass is also a major stakeholder in, and helped fund the creation of, tiktok

    tiktok already is, and always was, rat poison. it does not magically turn into rat poison now

    i am extremely confused about people who don't understand what tiktok really is and what it represents, and always represented

    fuck tiktok

    kill it

  15. @fbievan

    btw, do you know the largest #GOP donor in #America is?

    #JeffYass

    the guy who helped fund #tiktok's creation and is a major stakeholder. a guy who helped fund a #rightwing #thinktank to warp the judiciary in #israel to keep #netanyahu in power

    nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/jef

    do you understand what you're defending?

    will you please get your head out of your ass?

    "sure, let #democracy die, because everything in life has to be done in perfect grace"

    jesus fucking christ

  16. Your periodic reminder that #TikTok is co-owned by (and he did the initial funding for #ByteDance) #JeffYass.

    Jeff Yass is *the* largest #GOP donor.

    Jeff Yass funded a right wing #Israel thinktank to corrupt the judiciary for #Netanyahu.

    Jeff Yass was the largest investor in #TrumpMedia (#TruthSocial), they sold recently.

    Oh and look at the news today:

    "#Trump joins TikTok years after trying to ban the app"

  17. …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.

  18. #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).

    #finance #law #socialmedia #markets

  19. 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.

  20. "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."

  21. "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."

  22. “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.”
