No...Here's the problem..."ByteDance investor Jeff Yass tops 2024
donor list with TikTok under fire....Yass is estimated to have a 7%
personal stake in ByteDance, roughly the equivalent of $21 billion,
according to the Wall Street Journal."

But now, "Trump says he will 'most likely' delay TikTok ban
temporarily, but has not made final decision"

Jeff Yass has a reasoning problem....US will not ban it if managed in
the US, but he says "TikTok is about free speech and innovation, the
epitome of libertarian and free market ideals. The idea of banning
TikTok is an anathema to everything I believe."

Jeff is blowing smoke....
