From what I've read as of today the US version of Tiktok is now owned by the far-right red-pilled Trump-licker Larry Ellison, but I haven't seen anything in the news about it. Given it's one of the largest social media on the planet, I'd expect mroe noise about this.

It is a clickbait: Mice don’t have Alzheimer’s so they can’t cure something that does not exist. The question is what symptoms were modelled and how well they were measured? There is an abundance of over claims and poor experimental design on drug effects. Check out @tridentpct.bsky.social
