Trump supporter Larry Ellison (Oracle co-founder) suddenly appeared out of nowhere two days ago and made a bid on Tik Tok, trying to usurp Microsoft's attempts to possibly buy it.

This makes me wonder if Kanye has been brought in by Larry Ellison.

Something really screwy might be going on.

I'll try to find some links and add them here.

Also, this is just a theory.
