Americans are going to lose access to TikTok in less than a week, unless China green-lights a sale to what Congress has deemed a non-adversary of the United States — something China is unlikely to do but might.

The Tesla CEO should be focused on his EV business at a time when the automotive landscape is rapidly evolving. Investors also don’t need another distraction.
