TikTok is setting themselves up as an American company
— Jake (@JustJake) May 18, 2020
I’m conflicted. On one hand TikTok is killing it and I love to watch well oiled machines win
On the other, the CCP now has all our data
It unironically might be China’s best spearhead into Americahttps://t.co/vXfKAsekka
My take: TikTok originals coming soon? They’d crush Quibi for good. Potential record label?

Big mood. https://t.co/rJyGR4L4Aw
Huge move and shows that TikTok has a massive future ahead. https://t.co/M38l9yFzfn

Huge. Kevin Mayer was considered to be one of the top candidates to replace Bob Iger. https://t.co/tYpc8ixwcx

TikTok has a new CEO — the head of Disney Plus - https://t.co/2qZCJEPVYU

WOW, should have named him faux-CEO over the parks guy https://t.co/ZWZt8kS9at

Maybe someone will now do the definitive story on this guy and his management style and work behavior. https://t.co/8M4M4rYWI9

BIG hire https://t.co/lItxnRPS3j

Passed over for CEO, in favor of a guy who seemingly is fine operating in Iger's shadow, Mayer goes for the high growth opportunity! https://t.co/YYQwFH37Pj

Wow, Kevin Mayer resigned, he’s been Disney’s Head of Streaming since March 2018. https://t.co/gs1zyU4E82

After losing the race to become Disney's new CEO, Kevin Mayer is leaving to run a slightly different media company: https://t.co/StirDgoqjj

WOW. Big get for TikTok https://t.co/UcRH4BHrvx

More ByteDance apps are coming to the west, undoubtedly. Mayer is specifically mentioned as being in charge of Helo, which is ByteDance's kind-of Facebook, outside China in the ByteDance press release . So more headaches for Hawley (6/13) https://t.co/A0L0TtXRbD

Boom : Mister @disneyplus become King of @tiktok_us https://t.co/i9rEqpE6Tv

⚡️ That boom you hear is one of the most noteworthy execs in legacy media saying "see ya" Disney and climbing aboard a digital/mobile ? at @tiktok_us https://t.co/WITsJIY7vC

TikTok brings on a seasoned American exec as CEO: Kevin Mayer from Disney, who was passed over for CEO role there. It could boost Bytedance’s efforts to distance it and TikTok from its Chinese roots. https://t.co/yoTvNWp5gs by @byshanli @erichschwartzel
— Yoko Kubota (@Kubota_Yoko) May 19, 2020
So Bytedance names this guy COO.
— Elliott Zaagman (@ElliottZaagman) May 19, 2020
This is like a PRC national with no experience in the US getting put into Sheryl Sandberg’s position.
Think about how absurd that is. Any chance he actually performs that role? https://t.co/V65ZLLrIK4
If you're just waking up, there are *a bunch* of interesting things about ByteDance tapping up Disney's streaming chief to become TikTok's CEO... (1/13)
— Chris Stokel-Walker (@stokel) May 19, 2020
Tiktoks entire PR defense was centered around how it wasn’t connected to its Chinese parent company
— Saagar Enjeti (@esaagar) May 18, 2020
Naturally their new CEO is now also appointed as their Chinese parent company’s COO
I hope Mr. Mayer enjoys the look of a Congressional hearing room https://t.co/MqCD7mQsa8

디즈니의 스트리밍서비스 담당 임원이 틱톡 CEO로 이직 https://t.co/tjwQa3IL1l 디즈니에서 가장 중요한 디즈니플러스 신사업담당 임원이 중국스타트업으로 이직했다는 것인데 좀 놀라움. 물론 그 바이트댄스라는 스타트업은 전세계에서 가장 잘 나가는 유니콘회사이긴 하지만.

Kevin Mayer, who was in charge of streaming for Disney, helping launch Disney+ (and surprisingly also worked for Playboy in between his two non-consecutive Disney stints), has left the company to run the popular video site TikTok: https://t.co/3ZOKBKgWnH
