It is reported that President-elect Donald Trump meets with the TikTok CEO Shou Chew at Mar-a-Lago. Will TikTok take a turn for the better?

In April, President Joe Biden signed a $95 billion foreign aid bill that also forces ByteDance to spin off its app TikTok US business. In the terms, ByteDance was spinning off its U. S. operations for 270 days (about nine months) or facing a national ban.

Trump met with TikTok CEO, Shou Chew, on May 16. At a news conference on the same day, Trump said: " We will study TikTok, you know, I have a crush on TikTok.”

As we all know, before the US election, Trump frequently used the software to woo voters and "promised to save", but suddenly stopped after the election.

It is clear that TikTok believes Musk could be a potentially useful channel for communication with the Trump administration at a time when TikTok faces banned in the US.

After all, Trump is an unpredictable person who turns over faster than a book. In 2020, then-President Trump signed an executive order to ban TikTok. TikTok immediately sued the Trump administration, and finally won the lawsuit to resolve the crisis. In March, Trump posted his first post on social media opposing the ban on TikTok. In June, Trump swore to his TikTok post, "I want to save TikTok," which received more than 8 million likes.

The law, signed by Biden, sets the deadline for selling TikTok, the day before his current term ends, but if he decides the sale is progress, he could exercise a 90-day extension to extend the deadline to one year. The Associated Press noted that if this happens, the deadline would be extended to the first 100 days of Mr.Trump's second term.

But on March 13, the U. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rejected TikTok's request for a temporary injunction. Earlier, TikTok filed an emergency motion to block the no-sell ban bill.

More importantly, the TikTok may have a bleak future in the legal battle because it is being labeled as a "national security issue" by the United States. If the controversy over the TikTok bill continues until Trump takes office, and Trump, even if he really wants to help TikTok, he may have to fight at the congressional level.

Conclusion: I'm not optimistic about it.

Does Mr.Trump's original promise still work?

TikTok CEO has known Musk for many years, both the owner of social media competitor X (former Twitter) and one of the closest confidants of US President-elect Donald Trump. Mr.Musk now has an "unprecedented close relationship" with Mr.Trump, which has led many business leaders to ask the billionaire for advice. Musk has been living in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, since the US presidential election and has been a central figure during the government transition, according to several US media reports.

Shortly after Biden signed the bill, TikTok CEO Shou Chew responded via video. He reiterated that TikTok would not leave the United States and that the company would resort to legal action to fight back. On May 7, TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, filed a lawsuit against the federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Washington. Soon after, a group of TikTok creators also filed suit.

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

According to the Wall Street Journal on November 23, TikTok is seeking "insights" from the US, asking Musk for his views on topics ranging from the upcoming Trump administration to potential technology policies.

Unless the official "rescue" decree is announced, it will be hard for anyone to say what TikTok's fate will be.
