The War for TikTok in America - #3
There continues to be a lot of jockeying for position with Mr. Beast now entering the fray with the quote “unironically I’ve had so many billionaires reach out to me. Let’s see if we can pull this off.”
Sorry to disappoint Jimmy, but the one “influencer” with more “followers” than you is the Communist Party of China. Also, the CPC will do circles around you and all of those in the Frank McCourt camp.
There are a great many other dynamics underling the entire TikTok drama including who actually owns versus controls both the parent (ByteDance) and the platform (TikTok). I’ll return to these dynamics in a separate note at a later date.
For now, however, all interested parties must come to terms with what, exactly, the sort of negotiations they are headed into. It is very clear to me that, at the moment, that it remains a mentality of “vulture” investment. That is pure hubris and will end up taking people out (professionally).
