1. What's Tik-Tok?...sure, but what's Triller??

By now, most everyone has heard of President Trump threatening a ban on popular music app Tik-Tok. That led to a bunch of articles titled, "What's Tik-Tok?". But, keep an eye on Triller, a Tik-Tok competitor based out of the US. Led by CEO Mike Lu, Triller became the most downloaded app in App Store a couple of weeks ago. And, it has celebrities ditching Tik-Tok for its platform including Gen-Z stars Sway House, Gen-X star Mike Tyson, and even Baby Boomer star President Trump himself. Triller is now rumored to be seeking another fundraise, valuing the company at over $1 billion dollars and is suing Tik-Tok. Huuuge.
