Trump's favorite tech company could win TikTok

I can't think of a faster way to kill a trendy app's popularity than getting bought by Oracle.

It would be hilarious and speak to the dysfunction of every part of this situation if Oracle ended up owning tiktok.

I don&#x27;t know what Oracle is thinking, I mean, aside from everything else. Buying a consumer-oriented company would run counter to all their strategy for the past 40 years, I don&#x27;t know how they can feel confident in their ability to manage such a business.<p>Well, it could be one way to get a big customer onto Oracle Cloud.

Everyone who doesn’t understand why this makes a ton of sense for Oracle, and why they should fight to win the deal, has clearly never heard of Datalogix. (The fact that nobody discusses this point in the tech press shows just how terrible they are at doing their jobs, but I digress.)

The question then is will Oracle kill TikTok like Solaris?

Why does this make sense for Oracle?

The TikTok&#x2F;Trump battle has been great for schadenfreude lovers. Adding Oracle and Larry Ellison into the mix makes for three players that I&#x27;m happy to see in this battle of dysfunction, losing money.

As much as I dislike Trump, I hate polarizing headlines that have no evidence in the article to back it up. They merely say that the administration <i>could</i> have power over the choice of acquirer through CFIUS. That Ellison is a donor to the Trump campaign so theoretically that could make Trump like them. But it&#x27;s all hypothetical and not backed in evidence.<p>This is the type of journalism that is killing trust in professional news organizations today. It&#x27;s exhausting and I am sick of it.
