Will TikTok find a way to remain legal in the U.S. under a new ownership structure? A range of possible new owners for TikTok in the U.S. — including MrBeast, Elon Musk and Oracle founder Larry Ellison — have emerged as a federal law banning TikTok in the country went into effect this Sunday,

Just two days after sharing his thoughts on X, Donaldson took to TikTok with a video announcing his plans to purchase the platform. MrBeast in a video said, “I just got out of a meeting with a bunch of billionaires.

The president-elect and Joe Biden are reportedly exploring legal avenues for keeping the app accessible. Meanwhile, a growing list of entrepreneurs are said to be weighing a buyout.

Shortly after taking office on Monday, Trump directed the Justice Department to pause enforcement of the TikTok ban for 75 days. Trump previously floated the idea of the federal government taking a 50% stake in the new U.S. version of TikTok, whatever that ends up being.

A string of big names from the world of tech and even the US government have been touted as potential new owners of the social media giant. It comes after President Trump signed an executive order giving the company 75 days to convince officials it does not threaten national security.

The social media star's Beast Games is airing Amazon Prime Video. The reality show, inspired by the Netflix hit Squid Game, sees contestants battling it out for a grand prize of $5 million. Last week, Variety reported that the show had surpassed 50 million unique viewers in 25 days.

YouTube personality “MrBeast” Jimmy Donaldson and a group of investors tapped Brad Bondi, the brother of President Donald Trump’s pick to run the Justice Department, for legal advice on their bid to buy TikTok.

TikTok’s time will expire on Jan. 19 if no buyer is found or the Supreme Court rules in the app’s favor. Here’s what to know.

Content creator Jimmy Donaldson, known on the Internet as MrBeast, has made it clear he is interested in buying TikTok. Donaldson has the most subscribers of any user on YouTube— over 340 million—and boasts over 113 million TikTok followers.

President-elect Donald Trump says that he will "most likely" give TikTok an extension of 90 days to avoid it being banned in the United States. Trump spoke to NBC News about his potential solution for the ban that's set to happen on Sunday since the China-based social media app couldn't find a non-Chinese buyer.
