Elon Musk Opposes TikTok Ban Citing Freedom of Speech, Amid U.S. Supreme Court Ruling and Trump's Potential Reprieve
Jan 19, 2025, 03:06 PM
Elon Musk has publicly opposed the ban on TikTok in the United States, arguing that it contradicts the principles of freedom of speech and expression. He highlighted the disparity in the operational permissions of social media platforms between the U.S. and China, noting that while TikTok is allowed to operate in America, his platform X is banned in China. Musk stated, 'I have been against a TikTok ban for a long time, because it goes against freedom of speech. That said, the current situation where TikTok is allowed to operate in America, but X is not allowed to operate in China is unbalanced. Something needs to change.' This comes in the context of recent actions by the U.S. Supreme Court upholding a federal law that bans TikTok unless it is sold by its China-based parent company, ByteDance. Amid these developments, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has indicated he might consider a 90-day reprieve on the ban after taking office.
