the ellison family gets into the censorship business
tik tok has been instrumental in reporting warcrime and atrocity in gaza..
expect this to disappear once zionist shill larry ellison and his pals get control of the us arm...
as is now sadly normal, the venal frump crime family are in for their percentage..
"...The Trump administration recently approached a coalition of U.S. investors set to take over TikTok's U.S. operations with an ask: Will the group make a payment to the federal government "in the low billions," according to a person with direct knowledge of the talks.
The response from the investors, which includes tech mogul Larry Ellison, the Murdochs and venture capital heavyweight Andreessen Horowitz, was an unequivocal yes.
"Not a single member balked," said the person, who was not authorized to speak publicly. "They see it as something of a finders' fee."
Welcome to President Trump's new business agenda: extracting payments as if the federal government is brokering deals like a white-shoe consulting firm fueled by lucrative "fees for service
Whether it's the U.S. taking 15% of Nvidia and AMD's chip sales to China, the federal government securing a "golden share" in U.S. Steel or the Trump administration reportedly seeking an equity stake in Lithium Americas as part of a government loan negotiation, the White House is on a campaign of squeezing businesses with few parallels in modern history.
"At a minimum, this now means there is a tax imposed on every major business transaction," said Luigi Zingales, a professor of finance at the University of Chicago. "But even worse, businesses will no longer be focused on innovating and creating value and instead the whole game now is rent-seeking. It's all about ingratiating yourself with Trump."
The White House did not return a request for comment.
Asked on Thursday about the multibillion-dollar fee expected to be tacked onto the TikTok deal, which was earlier reported by The Wall Street Journal, Trump was evasive.
"We're going to be announcing different things, but the U.S. comes out great," Trump said from the Oval Office.
