Maybe the problem is who owns the companies

Maybe it is a call for ethnic cleansing and he means "black people" when he says "liberals."

I knew a coworker who would say "Canadians" as a dogwhistle. I don't know why, and refused to ask.

TikTok had $18b in revenue last year.

They're not going to cease operating. They're going to spend $17b on lawyers.

There's a reason you couldn't actually talk about the ARPU, and that's because an American user is worth literally 7x more than a Chinese user on average. Which is why TikTok had a revenue of 16.1b in 2023, with a growing user base, and ByteDance's total revenue was 40.8b.

Depends on intent, motivation, and the level of negligence. Literally, there's a sliding scale.

HIPAA violations can come with jail time btw

Unless you're only a person when it comes to bribing Congress

Bullshit, they're bluffing at best.

Average revenue per user is a pretty common industry benchmark, and the US absolutely slaughters the rest of the world. We're the fat, dumb, brainwashed cows the advertisers can't get enough of.

Is that really justified, or an example of selection bias?

Does it matter to a shareholder?

The craziest thing is it was already overvalued, Elon got "forced" into selling at peak, and then tanked the company he bought with it too. Just unreal clown behavior.

Surely you mean Neo Mexico?

Seems more like he's combining it with a quote:

"Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyways."
