The final phase of the Donald Trump as president of the USA he was called for a ban on TikTok, citing reasons related to the country's national security. Now, and with Biden has already mentioned that he intends to do so if he has the opportunity to do so, Trump seems to have a different opinion.
Trump stated on his Truth Social network that, if the TikTok is banned, it will only benefit Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg. The former US president also accused Facebook of having helped Biden in the last elections, thus returning to allegations of electoral fraud.
If Congress bans TikTok, they will be acting just like the Chinese communists who have also banned TikTok. . . Why not just defend the first amendment? pic.twitter.com/7eAvKNPdvc

BUT: TikTok will pay for videos longer than one minute
"[Facebook] is the real enemy of people", said Trump.
Trump's statements seem to have found support in Elon Musk, with the businessman having stated on the social network X (formerly Twitter) that the former US president's statements "they are correct".
It is worth remembering, however, that Elon Musk owns X, therefore, he has reasons for not wanting Facebook and Zuckerberg to gain an advantage over his platform.
