Serious answer: because it's owned by a US citizen and is operated and HQ'd in the US, so the the US government has effectively full control over it and can monitor it.
That's not a lot better from an end user privacy and security point. But is wayyyyyyyyyy better from a national security standpoint.
The US government has no more control over X than regulations permit. They have the exact same amount of control over TikTok operations inside the US.
Oh, sweet summer child...
Sweet summer nothing. Don't mistake billionaires as patriots for any cause other than their own. They don't care about the country and will only cooperate if forced or convenient. Which is the exact same level TikTok exists on.
Cool, the point is tiktok is spyware that sends info the the parent company in China, where the US doesn't have control.
Where evidence?
Same reason China wants it.
lol
I thought Mister Musty didn't have US citizenship
Despite allegedly being an illegal immigrant himself, he does have citizenship now.
He became a US citizen in 2002
Should be an invalid citizenship, he falsely stayed in the us under a student visa while he did business, and didn't attend school
He should absolutely have his citizenship revoked and be deported because we have it on record that he knew he falsely stayed for his personal benefit.
I will cut less well off immigrants slack for not following the complex and difficult process, especially if they immigrated for asylum, but Musk did it because he could get away with it and deserves to be punished for it.
Why did you think that?
I just knew he wasn't when he was with PayPal and never really paid much attention since.
