TIKTOK BEGINS RESTORING SERVICE FOR U.S. USERS AFTER TRUMP COMMENTS

TikTok is restoring service to US users after Trump posted to Truth Social calling for it to remain available so he can broadcast his inauguration. Trump said that he will issue an executive order to extend the period of time before the law banning the platform takes effect so that his administration can make a deal to protect US national security. There will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark. Some Republicans have made statements that appear to contradict Trump on how things might play out, saying that he will try to force a true divestiture of the social media platform.

TRUMP PROMOTES NEW MEME COIN BEFORE TAKING OFFICE ON PRO-CRYPTO AGENDA

President-elect Trump launched a memecoin, TRUMP, through an affiliate company of the Trump Organization during his inaugural Crypto Ball on Friday night. The project plans to issue 1 billion tokens over three years, with Trump retaining 80% of the supply. The launch comes as Trump prepares to take office with a pro-crypto agenda, having selected crypto-friendly officials for key positions and promising friendly regulations. Critics warn that the token could create conflicts of interest by allowing direct financial influence from token holders, though the website clarifies that it is an expression of support rather than an investment vehicle.

There are rumors that a top AI company will be announcing Ph.D.-level super-agents in the coming week. OpenAI's Sam Altman has scheduled a closed-door briefing with US government officials on January 30.
