I thought it was the Chinese owner of Tiktok that got paid money.
What is your evidence that the US government was paid any money as part of that deal (over and above any taxes that would have been incurred by any sale of any business).
"Gifted" would be misleading if (as I suspect) the entity that ended up with American Tiktok is the entity that won a bidding war to make the most attractive offer to the Chinese owner.
