Open to Elon Musk or Larry Ellison buying TikTok: US President Trump

US President Donald Trump has expressed openness to Tesla CEO Elon Musk or Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison acquiring the Chinese social media platform TikTok. This development comes amid ongoing uncertainty over TikTok’s future in the United States following its temporary shutdown over the weekend.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office about the potential acquisition, Trump said, “I would be [open to it], if he [Musk] wanted to buy it.” He further elaborated on the conditions for any sale, suggesting, “Buy it and give half to the United States of America, and we’ll give you the permit, and they’ll have a great partner.”
