alt Hacker News> only very few rich people can mobilize financial and political capital to pull off tiktok purchase
Why do you assume only a natural person can buy TikTok? Why do you assume you need political capital?
The law doesn’t provide that much executive deference in enforcement.
Elon musk is an example of acquisition of global social network. Political capital is needed because the tiktok question is politicized heavily (national security as a reason).
Plus FTC will review the acquisition process as well.
Do you have a counter example?
