The owner of the X network called this decision contrary to freedom of speech.
A close associate of US President-elect Donald Trump, billionaire and owner of the X social network Elon Musk unexpectedly stated that it is inappropriate to ban the Chinese social network in the United States TikTok.
In his post on the X network, he called the decision contrary to free speech.
“I have long been against banning TikTok because it is contrary to free speech,” Musk wrote.
To support his words, he recalled his post from April 19, 2024, in which he says that “TikTok should not be banned in the US, even if such a ban could benefit platform X.”
Then the owner of the X network also stated that “it would be contrary to free speech and expression.”
At the same time, Elon Musk called the situation “unbalanced” “when TikTok is allowed to operate in America, but X is prohibited from working in China.”
“Something needs to change,” he hinted.
Recall that TikTok is unavailable in the US due to a law requiring it to split from the Chinese company ByteDance. President-elect Donald Trump has promised to resolve the TikTok issue after taking office.
