He successsfully got ByteDance to use US cloud providers to run their service. Specifically cloud providers whose CEOs donated to his campaign. It was smokescreen, and apparently people believed it.

To rip off investors. If they pretend to be on the same hype train as everyone else, and lie about what their product does, there’s a chance some idiot will give them more money.
British TV is, as a friend said to me once, dire. So it would make sense that it landed better there. I mean, clearly lots of Americans watched it, and I know a few that loved it. I just think less of them. 😁
Any show that needs a laugh track to tell you when it’s trying to be funny isn’t going to be funny. I actually heard a perfect description of why BBT wasn’t good (to me) a couple weeks ago from the Venture Bros creators. BBT was a show created by people outside nerd culture trying to tell nerds what nerd culture is. And IMO it entirely missed the mark.
Big bang theory. It was absolute garbage.
Huge surprise, yeah. It’s funny how a little campaign contribution can go such a long way.
