The Microsoft-TickTack deal is a cup of poison: Bill Gates

 

Bill Gates, the co-founder of Windows maker, has called TickTock's possible deal with Microsoft a 'cup of poison'.

In an interview with technology site Wired, Gates made it clear that acquiring part of TickTock would not be easy or simple.

“Who knows what will happen to this agreement? But yes, it's a poisonous cup, "said Microsoft co-founder.

Technology site Verge reports that Gates added that being a big player in the social media business is "not an easy game." Because Microsoft has to go to a new level in content review.

Gates was asked if Microsoft was coming to the social media sector.

In response, Gates said that having a little more competition on Facebook was "maybe nothing good" but that "giving Trump a chance to finish the only contest is very bizarre."

The Microsoft co-founder, like everyone else, seemed a bit hesitant about how the TickTock deal was going. In particular, any acquisition that would require the U.S. Treasury to pay a one-size-fits-all deal has created even more confusion over the deal since President Donald Trump's announcement.

"I think the basis of this process is bizarre," Gates said. The matter of giving part is doubly bizarre. In any case, Microsoft has to deal with all of this. "

Through this complex agreement, Microsoft can present itself on a large scale in the social media sector. The company also fears an ongoing trade dispute between the United States and China.

The country's President Donald Trump has set a time to sell Tiktak's US activities. If there is no agreement by September 15, the ticketing service will be banned in the United States.
