A good leader attracts like minds. When I saw the face of Elon musk, Jef Besos and Mark of meta together in Trump's inauguration, I had same opinion of Trump trying to control everywhere. But later on, I understood that Trump is a smart man who like working with smart and geniuses. I admire him and his love for the people of America even against the wish of other country people (ie the immigrants).
I stand strong with him and his pro-bitcoin policies if he will implement some.

There is a clear intent to control all social media from the new US government. We have seen Elon using X-Twitter to try to dissolve a foreign pairlament and Trump to threat countries that until now were US allies. Apple has had to pay to Trump's fund and Facebook has removed any possibility of fact-checking.
Countries are gradually losing their sovereignty because some individuals control social media. If Elon can successfully do that in the US, other nations are not safe. It is now I am beginning to understand why some countries sensor these platforms. Quote
Now recently Trump decided that Tik-Tok can stay but needs to be "50%" US in partnership, which effectively means "I will not close Tik-Tok, as it is much much better to use it in my own political agenda".
Trump says he is open to Musk buying TikTok if Tesla CEO wants to do so. Emperor Trump and Elon might have an agenda to control the world.

We need alternatives to these US government controlled and semi-controlled media.
We might never have social media that is free from government control. These platforms will have to operate from a country and must abide by its laws. This is not about the law don't be stupid.

It is also said that "DOGE", the "department" to slash goverment funding to, for example, the FBI and the IRS (see Elon's tweets on that), is likely to become a government outside the government, where millionaires will go and buy de-regulations that will unprotect the people and make the uber-rich more uber-rich.

How about Redit, Mastodon or Bluesky? Bluesky and mastodon at least have decentralized structure. Personally i am looking them as an alternative as i just left all social media, including Meta, after they admitted some people can’t even unfollow the crazy leader on instagram. It's all just a boomer dumpster fire.Now recently Trump decided that Tik-Tok can stay but needs to be "50%" US in partnership, which effectively means "I will not close Tik-Tok, as it is much much better to use it in my own political agenda".

Xitter has crossed the parody horizon, and lost all credibility since Elmo took over.
And no matter the policy of these sites, or ownership, "dead internet" is the growing problem these days. All the sites are riddled ai bots. Ton of new contend and recycled stolen content is being flooded by AI, and even this post is being used to teach the freaking bots how to write more human-like.

I don't quite understand the change of heart the Republican party or Trump are having concerning their position against TikTok, to be honest. They had been quite antagonistic on the Chinese government and any corporation like that one which owns TikTok (which obviously has ties with the Chinese Communist Party.
Are they willing to contradict their previous discourse on anti-CCP for the sake of getting another social media and platform to further push their agenda?.
It would have been easier or more in tone with the Republican party to allow some big technological company to take over TikTok, making it an 100% American social media.
Quite silly how the USA government is allowed to stockpile personal information of their citizens, but foreign governments are not allowed to do so. No wonder why in China nobody uses American social media.
