MrBeast Eyes $50 Billion TikTok Purchase to Avert U.S. Ban by January 19
Jan 14, 2025, 03:41 PM
YouTube star MrBeast, whose real name is James Donaldson, has expressed interest in purchasing TikTok to prevent its potential ban in the United States. The ban, set to take effect on January 19, 2025, stems from a law signed by President Joe Biden, which requires TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to divest from the app or face prohibition. MrBeast's statement follows a U.S. Supreme Court hearing on January 10, 2025, where arguments were presented regarding the law. TikTok, valued at $50 billion, could impact over 170 million U.S. users if banned. MrBeast has also mentioned that multiple billionaires have reached out to him about the potential acquisition, indicating significant interest in the platform's U.S. operations.
