trump won big among young people during the election, the biggest win in republican history, he believes that it has everything to do with his popularity on tiktok.
with elon controlling x, he needs a social media platform under his control. the best he can possibly do is to create that US sovereign wealth fund and use it to control tiktok.
- edaemon 2y agoJust to clarify, Trump didn't win young people, he just performed better than expected. In fact, the youth vote was his weakest demographic. https://circle.tufts.edu/2024-election#youth-vote-+4-for-harris,-major-differences-by-race-and-gender https://circle.tufts.edu/2024-election#youth-vote-+4-for-har...
- ZeroGravitas 2y agoTo further clarify, both the above can be true. Trump can do something because he believes an unlikely lie. He might also be intentionally lying to create the impression of support, but he has publicly stated: > I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok, because I won youth by 34 points … Republicans are always 30 points down in youth. I don’t know why. But we ended up finishing. There was one poll that showed us down about 30. We were 35 or 36 points up with young people. So I have a little bit of a warm spot in my heart, I’ll be honest.
