Elon Musk Says 'Something Needs To Change' As Tiktok Goes Dark In US, Flags 'Unbalanced' Situation
However, Musk also highlighted a key issue regarding the unequal access of social media platforms in the US and China. He pointed out that while TikTok operated in America, X is not allowed to function in China. Musk argued that this situation is“unbalanced” and called for changes to ensure fair access for platforms across both countries.
Elon Musk on X: "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."
In a recent post on X, Elon Musk shared his stance on the ongoing debate surrounding the potential ban of TikTok in the United States . Despite acknowledging that such a move could benefit his platform, X, Musk expressed his firm opposition to banning TikTok, emphasizing that it goes against the core values of freedom of speech and expression. He stated, "In my opinion, TikTok should not be banned in the USA, even though such a ban may benefit the X platform."
Doing so would be contrary to freedom of speech and expression. It is not what America stands for.
On Sunday, TikTok ceased functioning for its 170 million American users after a law was enacted banning the app due to concerns from US politicians about the potential misuse of Americans' data by Chinese officials. Legal Disclaimer:
