alt Hacker NewsElon 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?

This is entirely meaningless. You don’t need political capital to maintain the status quo.

To your hypothetical? My example is the law. FACA is tightly defined. Bytedance needs to divest to a non-FAC to return to the status quo. Trump could do something else to fuck with them. But that’s true of anyone anywhere.
