ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, is required to sell the app to a U.S.-based buyer or face a nationwide ban.

Musk reportedly wrote, "we've witnessed the power of X in shaping national conversations and outcomes... [but] our user growth is stagnant [and] revenue is unimpressive."

Could Elon Musk save TikTok in the US? China weighs option to sell the controversial TikTok social media app's US operations ahead of looming ban

ByteDance officials are reportedly considering selling TikTok's US operations to Elon Musk to continue availability.

As the Jan. 19 date for a TikTok ban approaches, another name is emerging as a potential buyer: SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who already owns X.

After years of rejecting the idea of a sale of TikTok’s US assets to an American buyer in order to avert a ban, China and ByteDance may have found an owner they could live with: Elon Musk.

The app, which was set to be banned, now has a bit more time to find a home and address national security issues

TikTok denied a report that China is exploring a sale of the app to Elon Musk to keep TikTok operational in America amid a looming U.S. ban.

He’s already issued one executive order that’s been blocked in federal court for being “blatantly unconstitutional.” Trump will continue moving at this pace until there’s any indication that it comes at a price.

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would be supportive of the world's richest man and his close aide, Elon Musk, buying TikTok "if he wanted to". Trump was asked if he would be open to the billionaire founder of Tesla buying the short-video platform facing a nationwide ban in the US after the Supreme Court last week upheld a law requiring TikTok to sever ties with its Chinese parent ByteDance.

He previously floated a joint venture, saying that the US should be entitled to half of the app.
