I’m not chomping at the bit to acquire TikTok, I do not acquire companies in general, it’s quite rare,

While talking about his earlier acquisition of X (formerly called Twitter) as unusual, Musk said

DEI is simply racism rebranded,

he said

I don't use TikTok personally, so, you know, I'm not that familiar with it,

he said

I’ve not put in a bid for TikTok and I don’t have any plans for what would I do if I had TikTok,

Musk said in a video released online Saturday by The WELT Group, which is owned by German media company Axel Springer

I don’t acquire things just for economic reasons. It’s not clear to me what the purpose of acquiring TikTok would be apart from economics,

he added

I usually build companies from scratch.”

And he described his acquisition of Twitter (now X) as an anomaly in his career

With respect to government, really the challenge is overcoming bureaucracy,
