MrBeast Joins All-Cash Bid for TikTok's US Operations Amid 75-Day Ban Delay
Jan 21, 2025, 09:22 PM
YouTube personality MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has joined a group of American investors led by tech entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley in an all-cash bid to acquire TikTok's US operations. The group, which includes institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, aims to prevent a potential ban of the app in the US. The bid comes as President Donald Trump signed an executive order delaying any potential ban for 75 days, giving ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, time to find a buyer. The group's legal counsel includes Brad Bondi, the brother of Trump's Attorney General pick, Pam Bondi, and is represented by the law firm Paul Hastings. Other potential buyers for TikTok have also emerged, including Elon Musk, Amazon, Oracle, and a group led by billionaire Frank McCourt.
