It’s playing off how TikTok’s short form content is largely suited to inconsequential entertainment. TikTok produces memes, Trump wants to seize it. So you’re not seizing the memes of production like the classic joke indicates, you’re seizing that which produces the memes.
The joke is now dead, but the autopsy indicates why I smiled even though it didn’t land with most.
So… he wants to nationalize TikTok? I thought communism was bad?
Sieze the… production of memes?
You had the opportunity to say “Seize the memes of production” and you didn’t take it?

Right! That was my first thought. They obviously know the saying but messed up the pun. I’m sad, but I still upvoted them.
It’s not nationalisation if it’s owned by a private citizen who also happens to be part of the cabinet.
Oh, I thought he was suggesting the US government buy 50% of it. I suppose with Trump in charge private corporations are the United States now.
The other 50% are going to Trump and his cronies. The US isn’t going to see a dime.
