President Trump revealed that four groups are interested in acquiring TikTok’s US operations, although their identities remain undisclosed. He claimed, “all four are good,” while addressing reporters. A Supreme Court ban on TikTok, effective January 19, was temporarily lifted by Trump through an executive order. One interested group is led by YouTuber Mr. Beast with support from Roblox’s CEO, while another involves LA Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and Kevin O’Leary from Shark Tank. Rumors also suggest Elon Musk and Microsoft may submit offers. ByteDance must sell its US operations by April 4 or face a ban.
US President Donald Trump has revealed that four distinct groups have expressed interest in acquiring the US operations of TikTok. While the members of these groups remain undisclosed, the 47th president assured reporters aboard Air Force One that “all four are good.”
The United States Supreme Court originally enacted a ban on TikTok, effective January 19. After a 13-hour blackout affecting 70 million Americans, the app was restored following an executive order from Trump, which delayed the enforcement of the law by 75 days.
One of the interested groups is led by popular YouTuber Mr. Beast and supported by Roblox’s co-founder and CEO. Another group is a collaboration between LA Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary. Moreover, there have been speculations that both Elon Musk and Microsoft are contemplating making an offer.
ByteDance, the parent company of the well-known social network, is anticipated to divest its US operations, selling them to an American firm, or else risk a ban. Representatives have repeatedly emphasized that this isn’t a viable option, especially on short notice.
