The legal basis is someone with standing would have to sue him over it. Tiktokm certainly isn't going to and Congress... Well.
Maybe Elmo could, now that they broke up. He could argue that TikTok existing makes Twitter's videos less popular.
Hard to have standing over a third party not doing something to someone else that would hurt them to maybe(key point here) help you. It's possible to argue yourself there but the bar is incredibly high. If you can't assign direct provable causation and redress, you're SOL.
It's kind of like how nobody really could challenge DACA in the courts from the Republican side because all the harms they cited were hypothetical.
