China just shocked everyone. TikTok might be sold to its biggest competitor: Elon Musk. If he takes over, he could control how 25% of the world spends their time online. No one’s ever had this much influence before. 👀 Here’s what’s at stake: Elon Musk buying TikTok could change the internet as we know it. TikTok already has 1.7 billion daily users and an incredibly powerful algorithm that keeps people hooked. If Musk combined TikTok with 𝕏 (formerly Twitter), he’d control over 2.2 billion highly active users. That’s more than Facebook and Instagram combined. People spend more time on TikTok than any other platform—95 minutes a day—showing how engaged users are. Together, TikTok and 𝕏 could compete with YouTube and challenge Google’s massive ad business. Musk’s $400 billion net worth is big, but he might need partners to buy TikTok, which is worth around $100 billion. But the bigger picture is how this would give Musk control over both entertainment and information. These two platforms would have a huge influence on things like news, trends, elections, and even payments. Musk could shape global conversations and control what billions of people see online. It’s a massive power shift happening right before our eyes, and it’s not just about videos or tweets—it’s about who controls the digital world.
