We can? Like what? What's the chance of that happening?

> Zuck and Musk don't have armies to back up their propaganda.

I'd like to note the seating arrangements published for the upcoming presidentia inauguration ceremony.

The TikTok CEO will also be sitting in the same row as Zuck, Musk, and Bezos.

I'd like to note that TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, a former Goldman Sachs banker and venture capital investor, joined TikTok in March 2021. He is from Singaporean and is married to Vivian Kao, an American of Taiwanese descent.

Unlike Zuck, Musk, and Bezos, Chew did not found the company with which he is most associated, and his net worth is somewhat less than a billion dollars.
