(San Francisco Composite Electric) Billionaire entrepreneur Musk opposes the United States to comprehensively ban China's short video application TIKTOK, even if this means that his control of social media platform X will continue to face the fierce competition of Tiktok.
Musk Friday (19th) said on the X platform: "In my opinion, TIKTOK should not be disabled in the United States, although such a ban may benefit the X platform."
He also said: "This violates the freedom of remarks and expressing freedom, not the values represented by the United States."
The US House of Representatives set on Saturday (20th) local time, and voted for Tiktok's bill to force TIKTOK from Chinese parent company bytes.If TIKTOK does not jump from bytes, it will be banned from using it in the United States.
This bill that has been widely supported by the American cross -party faction has been included in a package of assisions including Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and it may be more likely to be passed in the two houses of the United States.U.S. President Biden has previously promised and will immediately sign into effect.
According to the bill, the byte beating must be sold Tiktok within a few months, otherwise Tiktok will be excluded from Apple and Google's app store in the United States.The bill will also empower the US president and specify other applications that have been recognized by the hostile country as a threat to the US national security.
Tiktok responded that the bill would trample on the right to speech freedom of 170 million Americans, destroy 7 million companies, and close a platform that contribute 24 billion US dollars (about S $ 32.7 billion) to the US economy each year.Essence
