Explainer: What is so special about TikTok's technology
Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
  • ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

  • Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

  • ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

  • As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say
  • ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.

  • TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.

  • ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.

  • After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.

Quick Glance: Tesla aims to potentially launch its humanoid robot Optimus next year, Elon Musk suggests
  • Elon Musk hinted at the possibility of Tesla introducing its humanoid robot Optimus to the market next year. The company plans to deploy the robot in its own factory by the year's end.

  • Not long ago, Tesla revealed “Optimus Gen 2”, a new iteration of its humanoid robot designed to assume repetitive human tasks.

  • Tesla's confidence in achieving this stems from its utilization of AI technologies in the self-driving vehicle sector and its proficiency in battery and electric motor innovations. The notion that its vehicles are essentially robots on wheels was posited.

  • Envisioning a future where households incorporate a Tesla Optimus robot that assumes various manufacturing and service roles, the CEO's perspective is clear.

Quick Glance: Profiting from Trump's Truth Social Appears Lucrative
  • An amateur Wall Street investor group has made millions by betting against the stock price of Trump's social media company.

  • Their bets are driven by the company's poor financials rather than personal feelings towards the former president.

  • Despite paper profits of at least $200 million, they remain cautious due to the stock's volatility.

  • Buyers of Trump's stock could amplify losses for short sellers through massive purchases and a potential 'short squeeze.'
