TikTok affair exposes ugly intersection between US politics and capitalism

 The wash-up of the TikTok affair has exposed a disturbing distortion of the relationship between domestic politics and capitalism in the world's supposed leading free-market economy and open society.

Oracle's co-founder and chairman Larry Ellison has conducted fundraisers for Trump's re-election campaign and its chief executive, Safra Catz, has been a significant donor to the campaign and was a member of the Trump transition team in 2016. Ellison, who Trump has described as "a tremendous guy", has also been enthusiastically supportive of Trump's controversial advocacy of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the coronavirus.

Trump wasn't as enthusiastic about a deal when it was Microsoft, forever associated with Bill Gates, which appeared most likely to acquire TikTok in the US.
