      LOL only a part for US. That means even if Microsoft buys it will be still a Chinese company operating the business. Other markets beware

        Somehow i felt tis is not a good thing for both investors and users.
        Time for a good switch.

        For those who are aiming for M$ stocks...do so while its hot.
        From what i see, its USD losing its stance very soon and i hope that Donald Dump continues to stakeout foreign companies that have a good stronghold in US and make US bankrupt faster with its mountains of debts to overtake Greece.

            MS for all its minuses does support impoverished rural schools in many countries. probably gates' influence. apple barely does that and manages to evade taxes too, with cook literally cooking the numbers everywhere. ppl complain goog steals data but they leverage it to make lives better (and therefore complicating it) unlike a certain east asian govt's who only want to use it for controlling others. goog is a dataphile and whatever money it makes, it mainly reinvests it in interesting projects.

            of course, in this case MS isn't making money. they're throwing it into the gutter. might as well pave their streets with actual greenbacks.

                      There is one good think if M$ going to buy TikTok - it will make everyone not want to use it, like everything else M$ bought and then ruin it.
