- spacechild1 2y agoDo you have a source for the $100 million? But yeah, Jeff Yass might indeed play a big role in Trumps sudden shift: https://www.fastcompany.com/91058467/who-is-jeff-yass-billionaire-donating-to-republicans-who-flipped-on-bytedance-tiktok-ban https://www.fastcompany.com/91058467/who-is-jeff-yass-billio...

- tim333 2y agoI was googling for $100m and didn't find it but there was some interesting other stuff: >So far, Yass has contributed $46 million to conservative causes and PACs, but nothing to Trump directly. If Trump wins Yass over, it could open the floodgates to a torrent of cash. (Mar 24, Vanity Fair) >If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business. I don’t want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!” Trump posted to Truth Social on March 7. It was a stunning policy reversal, in no small part because Trump had attempted an earlier TikTok ban himself. >Susquehanna’s roughly 15% stake in the privately held ByteDance is worth some $40 billion (also mar 24) So it seems quite plausible even if they haven't published details.
- spacechild1 2y agoI'm curious how this all will play out now that Meta has sucked up to Trump.

- richrichie 2y agoThis is misinformation. There is no evidence that he gave $100 million.
