   For those not paying attention, TikTok is not going to get banned and shut down. Money has already changed hands and there's more where that came from. There’s also plenty more to make.

   No one kills the money machines.

   I could be wrong, but I don't think so. #TikTok

     @Steve Yep. Maybe we'll finally get that cage match between Zuckerberg Musk, adding Chew into the mix on the dais. 😉

     @WarnerCrocker You are probably correct; however, there are two things to consider: 1) The train has left the station and some kind of extraordinary intervention will be required to stop it. 2) There are competing monied interests here: while TikTok investors are fighting against a shutdown, both Musk, and, particularly, Zukerberg are salivating at the idea of grabbing former TikTok users and data. It's interesting to note that Shou Chew (TikTok CEO), Musk, and Zukerberg will all be seated on the dais for Trump's inauguration.
