Trump Coordinates Potential TikTok Sale to Pro-Israel Allies Amid Regulatory Delays

Discover how Donald Trump’s latest maneuver on TikTok might allow China to retain control over the core algorithm while transferring ownership to politically aligned, pro-Israel investors. This analysis reveals the shift from a national security mandate to a politically advantageous transaction.

Short Summary

  • Congressional divestiture goals are undermined as China keeps licensing control over the essential recommendation algorithm.
  • Key investors like Larry Ellison (Oracle) and Jeff Yass (Trump donor) are poised to gain significant stakes in the new US entity.
  • Trump has extended the mandated sale deadline for a fourth time, facing little legal challenge despite clear defiance of Congress.
  • Romney, Blinken, and Gallagher clips suggest the law succeeded primarily due to post-October 7th political alignment regarding Israel, not solely national security fears re: China.

This discussion breaks down the reported structure of the proposed TikTok sale following the mandated divestiture bill signed by President Biden. The primary focus is on how licensing the algorithm back to China conflicts with the law’s intent, suggesting the deal serves the political interests of pro-Israel donors more effectively than the stated national security posture against Beijing.

This has nothing to do with Chinese espionage. It is all about squelching criticism of Israel, who are Trump's owners.

I think Emily is confused. The goal was never to get the algorithm out of chinas hands, it was to gain the ability to remove posts they don’t like.
