Summary
- MrBeast expressed interest in saving TikTok from the US ban and a group of billionaires is discussing making it happen.
- TikTok’s potential sale is complicated by ByteDance’s reluctance and potential Chinese government intervention, but discussions are ongoing.
- Concerns over TikTok’s data sharing with China prompted the ban, but the feasibility of the app’s sale and a US-based takeover is uncertain.
It appears that MrBeast aims to prevent TikTok from being prohibited within the U.S., as discussions have taken place between him and various billionaires regarding this potential action. Time is running out for TikTok in the United States, and efforts are underway to find strategies to halt its ban.
The explosive popularity of TikTok has sparked worries among lawmakers due to its origins and influence, leading President Biden to sign a bill about it back in April 2024. This bill required ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, either to cease the app’s operations in the U.S or sell the American part of their business. Although ByteDance hasn’t shown much interest in selling so far, with the TikTok ban deadline fast approaching, many are brainstorming strategies to keep the app running in the United States.
On January 14, MrBeast playfully tweeted about buying an app to prevent its closure on January 19, due to a legal deadline. Some fans might have assumed it was a joke, but it seems MrBeast may have been joking or not, as he has since posted another tweet stating that several billionaires have expressed interest in turning his idea into reality. Although he didn’t disclose their identities, the well-known YouTuber now appears to be seriously considering making this happen.
Could MrBeast Save TikTok?
In essence, if TikTok’s U.S. operations were managed by an American company, it might be permitted to stay active in the U.S. The primary reason for the ban stems from the U.S. government’s worries that data exchanged through the app could potentially be handed over to the Chinese government, or used to propagate misinformation. As stated by the DOJ, this supposedly involves data collected by TikTok from underage users. Yet, the major question is whether the app is actually for sale.
As a film enthusiast, I’ve been following the buzz surrounding the possible acquisition of the popular app we all know and love. While there have been numerous whispers about the potential sale, it’s uncertain if this will actually materialize, even with substantial financial incentives on the table. ByteDance’s legal representative, Noel Francisco, has reportedly emphasized that the app is not up for grabs, and any attempts to sell it would likely encounter resistance from the Chinese government.
In the past, ByteDance expressed interest in offloading its stake in TikTok to dodge a ban, but it appears their stance has shifted. The idea of MrBeast and a group of billionaires joining forces to buy the app is an intriguing thought, but whether ByteDance – and potentially the Chinese government – will be persuaded to negotiate a deal remains to be seen.
