A year later, CEO Satya Nadella said that it actually makes a bit of sense when you consider three of Microsoft’s biggest acquisitions (Minecraft, LinkedIn, GitHub) since he took charge of the company.
“So, when TikTok came to Microsoft, apparently intrigued by its work on child safety and its work to build a better community on its Xbox video game console (a game maker developed by Microsoft). This makes sense to me”, said Nadella.
