Who should buy TikTok? Mark Z or Musk? What about Trump?

 January 12, 2025

Who should buy TikTok once it is banned in the United States? Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump. 

The U.S Government banned Chinese-owned social media giant TikTok citing national security concerns. The Chinese owners appealed the ban.  The U.S. Supreme Court will most likely uphold the  ban. 

If you can't beat them, join them. If you can't join them, buy them. If you can ban them, buy them. 

TikTok is the most addictive video sharing platform and as suchc one of the most valuable social media companies in the world. By banning the company due to its Chinese ownership, we could see a forced sale at a bargain price. 

Who should take advantage of this opportunity? Any American company or billionaire who can. 

Meta would be the most logical buyer because Meta reigns the social media industry. Meta was very worried initially about the surprising rise of TikTok. Meta immediately copied TikTok's AI algorithms in Reels, Meta's copy of TikTok. The move was successful. To be fair, Chinese social media companies have been copying Meta for decades since its inception and rise. What goes around comes around. 

South African and naturalized U.S. citizen, Elon Musk, riches person in the world and best buddy of American president-elect Donald Trump, should also bid for ownership of TikTok. Acquiring TikTok would make Musk the most powerful man in media. But he should not go alone on buying TikTok. Musk should partner with the Trump Media and Technology Company to acquire TikTok.

We'll see what these entrepreneurs and others decide to do. Another strategy is to let TikTok banned in the US without any American company acquiring its operations in the United States. TikTok geta so much "eyeballs" in attention real estate and is thus so valuable that it's unfathomable to believe that no one will buy it from the Chinese. 

TikTok will be banned in the United States because it's a Chinese-owned media company. An American company will acquire it to get the ban lifted and continue making money from Americans addicted to AI-powered video sharing social media. As Meta and DJT investors, we hope that Mark Z, Musk and Trump find ways to get their greedy hands into the American spinoff of TikToKUS.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...
