MrBeast joins investors in bid to buy TikTok for over $20 billion
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. Recently, TikTok faced a temporary shutdown in the U.S. due to national security concerns. The app was restored after assurances from former President Trump that it would not face penalties. Trump has also expressed interest in a bidding war for TikTok. Microsoft is reportedly in talks to buy TikTok, but has not confirmed this. Trump signed an executive order to delay enforcement of a law that could force ByteDance to sell TikTok.
