To Buy or Not to Buy: What's the Future of TikTok?

Trump said: "I may proceed with the TikTok deal, or I may not." If TikTok accepts Trump’s proposal, it would shift from a “complete sale” to “selling 50% of its equity.” Trump gains billions of money from the new $TRUMP coin. Another possibility is that Perplexity AI proposes a merger with the U.S. version of TikTok. ---------------- Will Trump use the money to buy TikTok? To buy or not to buy, what's the potential future of TikTok?

I have not tried using Duolingo to learn languages. Thank you for the recommendation! I do have languages that I want to learn like Spanish, will find the time to explore it! It seems like the more the US wants to ban Chinese apps, the more Americans flock to them. The Chinese apps are indeed more appealing to users and having a good community feeds into the creation of better and more relevant content. Looking at the current demand in the top 2 economies and the sheer population size, I am bullish on Duolingo! There is no good way to learn languages besides practice, practice and practice. Being immerse in the environment of the language is definitely needed. This environment for mandarin in Singapore is not great and many use them only in schools or simple daily use. Very few would con

I am cautious about Duolingo’s growth. Language learning is not new and other than direct translation, it still depends on individuals' interest level and motivation to learn. something that AI cannot help with. Thus, Mandarin's complexity could cause user drop-off. Especially after the novelty dies off. Can still just post pics and English text anyway. I used Duolingo to learn languages before but wasn't persistent so i pretty much only remember conversational words, lol. Learning Mandarin takes consistency especially on the tones. Have conversation practice and watch chinese drama!!! I prefer app translation as it is convenient and can use phone for text. But i missing the cultural nuances which I appreciates in enjoying the local culture/living
If Musk acquires TikTok, it could be the ultimate chess move in his quest to consolidate global influence. Imagine TikTok integrated into ‘X,’ where Musk creates a platform that’s a one-stop shop for social media, payments, shopping, and even virtual reality experiences. The potential to harvest TikTok’s immense user data could lead to unprecedented advancements in AI, personalisation, and even digital governance.  But here’s the conspiracy: could this be the Trojan horse ByteDance and China need to retain subtle control over Western markets? A sale might seem like a transfer of power, but what if it’s a backdoor deal to maintain influence while sidestepping legal restrictions? Either way, this move could reshape the tech landscape forever. The question is—do we want Musk to be the fa
not too sure if it's a good thing if the charismatic one is to acquire tiktok. look at what happens when he acquired Twitter... was quite chaotic for sometime before things settled down... Some believe that if Musk is genuinely interested, it’s entirely possible for him to pull off this acquisition. After all, his Twitter takeover faced numerous hurdles but was ultimately successful. @HelenJanet @GoodLife99 @Shyon @Aqa @rL @Universe宇宙

I'm impressed with $Duolingo, Inc.(DUOL)$ performance, but I'm adopting a wait-and-see approach due to the ongoing RedNote and TikTok saga. While I've downloaded Duolingo to explore its features, I'm not investing in DUOL at this stage. Best tip to learn Mandarin is to date a Mandarin speaker, unconventional yet effective! What's the adventure if we're fully prepped for a trip? Sometimes, the best experiences come from stepping out of our comfort zones and embracing the unknown. While language learning apps like Duolingo can be helpful, there's no substitute for the thrill of navigating unfamiliar territories and cultures.

Neither subscribed to Tik Tok Nor Xiao Hong Shu Apps but it will be good if they are listed in the Stock Markets [Chuckle] [Chuckle]. Musk Buying Tik Tok [Thinking] [Thinking]..... Politicians will be Politicians [Chuckle] [Chuckle].  Sell.. Buy.... Don't Sell or Don't Buy. However, I'm Sure there are lots of users who have gained plenty of Entertainment and Information from them. Will consider using them in the future. I still stick to WeChat , which is a Good App. to stay communicate with Friends from China [Heart]. For now, Tiger App. 🐯 is the Most frequently used Apps [Chuckle] [Chuckle] [Chuckle]

Depends on who TikTok is sold to and what the new owner does with it. Meta may not benefit if TikTok is able to emerge stronger. As it is, it is already popular and many people depend on it for entertainment and even income! No one can read the mind of Musk! He could acquire it. Afterall, it is popular among different groups and could complement X. Xiaohongshu is really informative and good travel information source. It offers good recommendation for activities and food, and updated rapidly unlike those that appear on Google which are boring, typical tourist stuff. I don’t think I can live without it. It is my daily downtime source of entertainment[Facepalm]

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Analysts estimate TikTok U.S. could be valued between $20B and $100B. So far, real estate mogul Frank McCourt - joined by Canadian investor Kevin O'Leary - has made an offer for the app, while former U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin previously showed interest.

The TikTok drama took another twist Tuesday amid reports that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is being discussed as a potential buyer. The popular social-media platform is facing a ban unless it sells its U.S. operations. Legislators have cited national security concerns as the basis for banning the app under its current ownership -- it is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company. The Supreme Court is now set to make a decision by Jan. 19 on whether to uphold a bill passed by Congress.

Yes i have used Duolingo to improve my basic Dutch, my Dutch mum has used it every morning for years to advance her love of the French language - brain exercises in her later years she believes will help keep Dementia at bay. Crossword, Sudoku, duolingo.. @TigerStars @Tiger_comments

Trump said the U.S. "should have the right to own 50% of TikTok”. He said it and he’ll get it. He is going to make it dirt cheap so that it is a spoil for he and his gang.
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Hope to see TikTok be stopped to benefit other companies. Also looking forward to see Tiktok being banned in SG if ever.
Will Mr Beast or Musk buy TikTok ??

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ why not ? He is capable of it and very capable of executing it. Let's see.
musk also interested in buying Liverpool FC... let him buy everything. Meta not affected by tik tok's fate. Meta just need to keep growing it's top and bottom line and the stock price will keep going up. I don't need same Chinese app. Meta's app is sufficient like WhatsApp, and IG.  Even Musk's app X is entertaining for me
