After months of wrangling, pro-Israel Larry Ellison, the second richest man in the world and the single biggest private donor to the IDF has moved into the drivers seat at TikTok. Yes TikTok, which Hillary Clinton just said months ago was rotting the brains of her Columbia students, making them sympathetic to Palestinians. TikTok, the sale of which Netanyahu said would give their side "control" in the battle to propagandize the youth. TikTok, which congress wanted to ban because it was making young Americans "anti-Israel."

Well, Ellison's Oracle now has a 15% stake, as does an Emirati investor group and a third investor group, leaving the original China-linked owners, ByteDance, with less than 20%.
