This has two knock-on effects that are much longer term. First, we now know that a U.S. TikTok ban will be difficult to bypass if it comes back — and the same will be true for any other Chinese (or other) app banned in the same way. There are some options, as I reported over the weekend, but none of them are especially compelling.
TikTok got a short reprieve to make a deal. Project Stargate, a $500B AI plan from OpenAI, Oracle, and Softbank, pushes Musk, Microsoft, aside. Google buys HTC VR tech.
The newly launched $VINE spiked in value after Elon Musk teased a possible comeback of the discontinued app. Here's what it could mean for crypto.

Some cell phone users didn’t delete the TikTok app from their devices during its short ban in the U.S. Now, it appears they may be hoping to cash in by selling their phones.
