Funny that his surname is nearly an anagram of TikTok.

This is brilliant, it’s surely the best way to ensure the destruction of TikTok.

He’s a staunch republican operative and very well connected in Trump circles. He brought a bunch of these Ghouls into activision too.

It’s a brilliant move because now the Biden administration has the choice between being weak on China and handing an actual competitive social media platform to Republicans.

Everything permeated by the cold US civil war.

The question is … how long did he have this mission … all the way back to when he dated Sheryl Sandberg? ;)

The one upside I can see is that We can watch Elon melting down completely when this happens.

What would it take for Kotick to actually be the frontman for Elon Musk?

Elon Musk already has Twitter. If he somehow was able to quietly acquire the US TikTok operations, it would make him a very powerful person with massive reach.

Is it going to get loot boxes ?

    Imagine a scenario in which the more you "engaged" through liking, commenting or sharing, the more you would get more "premium" content drop in your feed like more popular youtubers or influencers.

Lootboxes - can't wait.
