> He has a major donor that owns part of TikTok

He has a major donor who owns part of Bytedance. They’re not losing their investment with this ban.

1. Then why is that investor so aggressively against the forced divestment? (not a ban)

2. Bytedance will certainly lose value if its main product loses one of its main markets.

He also has a major donor who owns Meta, and a major donor who owns Twitter/X.

He also has a daughter who is the only American to hold patents in China without having to license IP to a Chinese company.

We are about to see some strange mental gymnastics out of 1600 Penn.

  • I don’t think Zuckerberg is a major donor. He gave some pocket change to Trump’s inauguration but was there anything more?

    He kind of sat out this election cycle (despite being a major Democrat donor previously) because I guess he saw where the wind is blowing…

  • Anyone with significant financial interests in China should not be able to represent the US in confronting China.

    And yet..
