Trump Says Four Groups Interested in Buying TikTok's US Operations

Donald Trump stated that four groups are in negotiations to acquire TikTok's U.S. operations. This follows a U.S. law requiring ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, to divest its U.S. assets due to national security concerns. The deadline for the sale, initially set for January 20, was extended by 75 days. Potential buyers include Frank McCourt's 'Project Liberty,' Perplexity AI (valuing TikTok at $50 billion), MrBeast, and Steven Mnuchin. Elon Musk previously declined interest. TikTok briefly suspended operations in the U.S. but resumed after a temporary suspension of the ban.
