The story about selling to Musk is coming from Bloomberg. Meanwhile the "pure fiction" quote comes from TikTok's reply to Variety's request for comments. Variety is unlikely to have access to anyone at TikTok senior enough to know the truth and willing to talk about it.
The purchase of valuable assets by someone in the president's inner circle after the government forces their owner to sell them is the sort of thing that usually involves Russian oligarchs. It would be a shameful act by the US government.
We're primed for four years of shameful acts that follow the trends of Russian oligarchs.
But if Bloomberg's source is actually Elon or someone form Drumpf's team, I’d have to assume it’s a lie.
So, for sure happening
