However, he still has a option to appeal against this ruling. This decision came after a lawsuit was filed by a Tesla shareholder, challenging Musk’s $56 billion pay package.

Universal Music pull all its songs from TikTok

There is bad news for TikTok users. Universal Music Group, home to artists like Taylor Swift, Drake, and Billie Eilish, has pulled its vast music catalog from TikTok.

Universal Music reportedly felt that TikTok wasn’t adequately compensating artists and songwriters for the use of their music, which drives much of the platform’s engagement. This decision could have significant impact on TikTok’s user experience. Without Universal Music, TikTok’s music library shrinks considerably, potentially impacting user’s creativity and engagement.
