MrBeast Joins Bid to Buy TikTok

YouTube star MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has expressed interest in purchasing TikTok to prevent its potential ban in the United States amid Supreme Court discussions. He initially posted a joking tweet about buying the platform but later indicated that he has received interest from billionaires willing to support the acquisition. With the U.S. government potentially requiring TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app, MrBeast's proposal comes at a critical time as the company faces a deadline. Insiders suggest that MrBeast, who has a significant social media presence, could be an advantageous partner for the investor groups due to his success. Meanwhile, reports indicate that China is considering a deal in which Elon Musk might acquire TikTok's U.S. operations if ByteDance cannot counter the ban. As discussions continue, no formal agreements have been reached yet regarding MrBeast's involvement.
