Microsoft-TikTok purported deal: Bill Gates says “it’s a poisoned chalice”

<p>Microsoft founder Bill Gates is unsure about Microsoft-TikTok likely deal. In an interview with the Wired, he called it a &ldquo;poisoned chalice&rdquo;. He also said that Trump&rsquo;s decision to ban TikTok is &ldquo;pretty bizarre&rdquo;. Gates said that &ldquo;being in the social media business is no simple game&rdquo; and while he was happy with Microsoft stepping into it, he wasn&rsquo;t too supportive of TikTok ban. He also said that govt asking for a cut in the&nbsp;sale of TikTok&rsquo;s US operations is strange.</p>
