  He just does whatever the last person to talk with him was able to talk him into.

  I suspect that, at the root, he just likes being popular with people and he has some kind of understanding that everyone who doesn’t look any harder than “But I like going on TikTok, what the fuck” will get mad at him, and so he’ll undo the ban. But it could honestly go any which way, just depending on the whims of whatever little hamster is running on the wheel in his head on any particular day.

    Heard the exact same think about Musk a few months back.

  Now jolly old Elon wants Xitter being allowed in China …

  While TikTok is allowed to operate freely in the US, Musk pointed out that his platform, X, is banned in China. Musk stated that the situation is “unbalanced” and added, “Something needs to change."
