“The only reason I’m leaving is for what I think of as a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Kevin Mayer said of his departure from Disney to lead TikTok

LOS ANGELES—The departure of Kevin Mayer—just six months after overseeing the launch of Walt Disney Co.’s streaming service, Disney+—leaves a big hole at what has become a bright spot for a company widely hit by the pandemic.

While the rest of Disney, including its movie studio, ESPN sports empire and especially its theme parks, has been rocked by the coronavirus, Disney+ has flourished, picking up more than 54 million subscribers since it launched late last year.

Tik Tok, a passing fad. 😴

So, guy leaves company that kowtows to China in order to run company that is owned by China?

From an icon to a fad... wow.

China said, “Jump!” Mayer said, “How high?” PalaceQuandary UrBetsyJean MamaBearT4 Bane_Rises

Either early ship jumping or Disney plans to acquire TikTok? 🤔

And to embrace the Chinese money and help them spy on people.

We’re loaded with theme parks and movies and those sectors are fucked? “Yeah, hello - TikTok, Kevin Mayer here”

If “only”.

How does your mind deceive you? ' Free yourself' your mind is obsessed with what other minds are thinking (mind reading). Your mind is horribly competitive and insecure, comparing you to the neighbors, co-workers, friends..

Absolutely nothing to do with the extra tens of millions I can burn every year😂😂😂😂 Plus stock options 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Yesh right

Sure. Steph looks at Disney’s financials..the total fail of Kathleen Kennedy.. (WSJ ASK WHY SHE STILL RUNS LUCASFILM) and her era at Lucasfilm. The drama going on behind the scenes. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHY HE’D GO! Oh .Disneys debt, etc...

He sold his soul to the devil

He forgot the part where he says this opportunity represents the confluence of his skill set / life's work. oahmady

might very well provide less than full cooperation to stem the pandemic of the century in the crass pursuit of its own interests. This may constitute biological warfare. But even if it doesn’t Xi should be brought to account for his other crimes against humanity.

Tik tok is vine for us older kids.

Globalists - go to highest bidder. This would be like in the 60s going to work for the Soviet Union- then it was frowned upon. Today it's a 'chance of a lifetime'? Say whaaa....
