"TikTok Ban Threats and Billionaire Donors: The Battle for Survival"

TL;DR Summary
Venture capitalist Keith Rabois has threatened to withhold campaign contributions from Republican candidates who vote against a bill aimed at forcing TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell off the social media platform due to national security concerns. The House is expected to pass the bill, but its prospects in the Senate remain uncertain. Rabois' threat could influence Republican lawmakers, with former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk opposing the legislation. If passed, ByteDance would have six months to sell off TikTok before it faces a ban in the United States.
