Rumble makes offer to buy and operate TikTok in the US
Post millennial ^

Posted on 03/12/2024 8:36:26 AM PDT by janetjanet998

The free speech video platform Rumble has offered to buy TikTok, as legislation moves through Congress that would see the popular social media platform banned in the US if parent company ByteDance does not divest from TikTok

In the event that ByteDance divests its ownership in TikTok, Rumble is ready to join a consortium with other parties seeking to acquire and operate TikTok inside the United States. Specifically, we are ready to serve as a cloud technology partner," a letter from Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski to TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew states.

Tik tok is mostly woke and conservative wrong think is not allowed there

This will allow the younger generation to be “poisoned” by non woke thought

Liberals will lose their minds similar to when Musk bought twitter

Very interesting Trump mentioned mentioned tiktok yesterday on truth

Rumble still has about 200 million of cash
The soon DWAC merger with Trump media will raise 500 million I think
And both companies could issue more public stock to raise more funds

Plus the letter implies other partners

Are rumble and Trump media and others going to purchase “Tiktok USA”

This might be a good move. Rumble really has become the dominant alternative to Youtube (which Google ruined).

I’d love to see Rumble acquire TikTok - the meltdown on the Left would be even funnier than when Musk took over Twitter.

No reason for ByteDance to sell. The U.S. will ban TikTok. Gen Z will scream. That’s leverage.

“The U.S. will ban TikTok.”

That’s a huge reason to sell. Get some money for it before they lose it.

I’m pretty sure TikTok is worth more than the ~$40 billion Musk paid for Twitter.

You could not be more incorrect. Tick-tock is utterly filled with conservative thought. Not only that, but with normal life thought. Your feed will quickly be filled with creative and interesting cooking tips, 10 minute videos explaining something in the Bible, Jordan Peterson, useful tips on self improvement in life, precious videos of babies and children and women raising families in a traditional household. I don’t know where you got the idea that conservatism is not allowed on TikTok, it’s really the main thrust. You never see anything woke unless you actively search for it. Not only that, you’re not bombarded with comments about each video, but if you seek them out very few of them are woke.

Tick-tock has 200 billion market cap. So no, rumble with its 200 million is not going to buy it. Do you even math bro?

That would be tragic if it got American ownership rather than Singaporean. The entire goal of the government is to bring it under the control of American law, the plan is to ensure NSA, CIA, and FBI have back doors, and regular access to the CEO and staff.

Rumble indeed. They are so small, it would be roughly like you or me offering to form a consortium and operate it. And while I enjoy Rumble very much, their product is far more clunky than the TikTok platform. Not even close to the same quality level.

How exactly do you see it as leverage to enrage a whole generation? What do you gain from that? For bonus points do you actually think DC is trying to protect America? The same DC that wants to chop kids penises off, bites tooth and nail to protect drag queen story hour, throws the border open for 10 million invaders, floods the country with Palestinian terrorist, on a rabid attack against farming and energy, protects antifa and BLM terrorists. A government built on to stolen elections in a row? 2020 and 2022.

THAT government suddenly became patriotic and is trying to protect America?
Bullcrap. Don’t fall for it, tick-tock was kicking the ass of American social media companies Facebook, Instagram, and X. It’s a much more positive and conservative experience. So Zuckerberg calls his bought and paid for Congressfools and demand they do something about it. So with that pressure from a gigantic donor, and the prodding from the security State apparatus in America, they swing into action. Don’t be naïve.
