Trump open to Elon Musk, Larry Ellison buying TikTok; report claims YouTuber MrBeast among potential buyers

Former US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he is fine with billionaire Elon Musk or Oracle Corp. Chairman Larry Ellison purchasing the popular social media app TikTok, should they be interested, a Bloomberg report said. The short video app, used by 170 million Americans, was temporarily taken offline just before a law came into effect on Sunday. The law required its Chinese owner, ByteDance, to either sell the app or face a ban due to national security concerns.
