The most interesting thing about this deal outside the obvious political drama in my opinion is that this will change Big Tech landscape overnight.

Microsoft has done enterprise so well for so long but has always struggled on 'consumer tech' outside of its Windows OS. Acquiring a social media platform is going to catapault it into the heart of consumer tech.

Question is will TikTok be a parallell arm or will it help Microsoft's consumer tech ambitions for One Drive, Xbox etc?
