MrBeast claims to have a serious offer for banned ByteDance.
There is a lot of buzz around TikTok in the United States, which is not surprising given that the January 19 deadline for ByteDance to sell its stake in the social media platform to a third party approved by US authorities is fast approaching. otherwise you will lose access to the US market. In the Supreme Court, the operator attacked the law approved by both Congress and the Senate, which Donald Trump now wants to have suspended, even though during his first presidential term he himself did everything to ban TikTok, which is considered to be the spy software of the Chinese party state.
According to Reuters, on January 29, the social networking site specializing in sharing short videos will not disappear overnight, but the download of the application would be made impossible in the first instance, but existing users would still be able to use it for a while. It is not known exactly how long. In any case, ByteDance is preparing to redirect users who try to open the app to a website where they will receive detailed information about the ban and will also be able to download all their data. The operator claims that if the Trump administration later allows TikTok to operate again, it will be able to restore the service in a short time.
As for the sale outlined as a solution, the name of Elon Musk was mentioned a few days ago as a possible buyer, but the ByteDance representative denied that negotiations were taking place with the tech billionaire who also owns X. However, the interest of Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, referred to as the king of YouTube, in the platform, who already indicated on January 14 that he would buy it, is certainly not a news story. Since then, he has reaffirmed his intention, and what’s more, he has prepared an offer for ByteDance.
Although the YouTuber with more than 330 million subscribers is a successful entrepreneur, taking on TikTok would be too big even for him, but he would not do it alone, he claims in his video uploaded to the platform.

“I’m just out of a meeting with a bunch of billionaires. Tiktok, we’re serious. We have an offer ready. We want to buy the platform. America deserves TikTok. Give me a seat at the table, let me save this platform.”
The video immediately went viral, with millions of views and comments, and MrBeast’s fans wouldn’t mind if he bought TikTok, and would be more than happy to see it in his hands and not Elon Musk’s.
