    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.

          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.

            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.
