TikTokās $14B US Makeover: Oracleās Algorithm, Who Dis?
In a plot twist that sounds like a bizarre tech soap opera, President Donald Trump stamped his autograph on a $14 billion TikTok deal this Thursday, insisting ByteDance owns less than 20% of the newly Americanized TikTok. Oracle and Larry Ellisonās cameo alongside 'four or five world-class investors' sounds like a Silicon Valley Avengers team-up, but analysts warn itās a one-hit wonder, not a sequel for future China-US tech drama. The US-China rivalry plays out like a nerdy cage fight ā Huawei banned, SMIC starved of chips, while Beijing ships out AI superstar DeepSeek. Meanwhile, TikTok's future algorithmic remix remains the most cryptic cliffhanger yet.
