Trump reveals his plan to revive TikTok
Story by Christine Mui • 3h • 6 min read

President-elect Donald Trump unveiled plans for an executive order to save TikTok from a federal ban Sunday, immediately raising questions about the legality of his proposal, which appears to involve nationalizing half of the app.

“I will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law’s prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “My initial thought is a joint venture between the current owners and/or new owners whereby the U.S. gets a 50% ownership in a joint venture set up between the U.S. and whichever purchase we so choose.”

...

Chinese officials have reportedly discussed working with the Trump administration on selling TikTok to Musk, and the “first buddy” has some concessions for his own businesses that he hopes to extract from Beijing. Musk said on X Sunday that though he has opposed banning TikTok for a long time, “the current situation where TikTok is allowed to operate in America, but X is not allowed to operate in China is unbalanced. Something needs to change.”

Seems to have been forgotten that Trump issued an Executive Order banning Tik Tok from the U.S., was overturned by the Courts then pushed Republicans in Congress to pass a Federal Law banning it, which the Supreme Court just upheld.

Now he can just suspend a Federal Law on a whim?

Seems not all Republicans in Congress got the memo:

quote:
“We commend Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft for following the law and halting operations with ByteDance and TikTok, and we encourage other companies to do the same. The law, after all, risks ruinous bankruptcy for any company who violates it,” Cotton and Ricketts wrote in a statement.

They added, "Now that the law has taken effect, there’s no legal basis for any kind of ‘extension’ of its effective date. For TikTok to come back online in the future, ByteDance must agree to a sale that satisfies the law’s qualified-divestiture requirements by severing all ties between TikTok and Communist China."
