YouTuber MrBeast, along with a group of investors, is reportedly trying to buy TikTok for over $20 billion. The group includes Roblox CEO David Baszucki and has not received a response from TikTok's owner, ByteDance, which claims its U.S. business is not for sale. This bid comes amid ongoing discussions about TikTok's future in the U.S. Following a recent Supreme Court decision, TikTok briefly went offline due to national security concerns but was restored after assurances from former President Trump. Trump has expressed interest in a bidding war for TikTok and is in talks with various companies, including Microsoft. He signed an executive order to delay enforcement of a law that could force ByteDance to sell TikTok.
