TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is expected to attend tonight’s “Make America Great Again Victory Rally” at Capitol One Arena in downtown Washington, DC, two sources familiar with his plans tell CNN.

Chew’s attendance comes one day before the president-elect will be sworn in for his second term, and as Trump’s team mulls over how to save the popular app.

Some background: Trump said Sunday that he will move to delay a controversial ban on TikTok for 90 days shortly after he takes office. The app had gone dark for US users late Saturday in anticipation of the ban, but started coming back online within hours of Trump’s announcement.

TikTok thanked Trump in a statement Sunday, saying he had provided the “necessary clarity” needed to restore access for US users, and that it would work with him on a “long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States.”

Trump expressed confidence in the app’s future in his Truth Social post announcing his plans Sunday, saying he will “not let TikTok stay dark” and proposing a “joint venture” where the US could take “a 50% ownership position” in the app.

CNN has previously reported that Chew is expected to attend Trump’s inauguration on Monday, one of several tech leaders who will play a role in inaugural events.

So how is that suppose to work and who pays?  Does TikTok then become joint State media shared between the U.S. and the People's Republic of China?

How is any of this stupidity Conservative?   **nononono*
