TikTok CEO to Attend Trump's Jan 20 Inauguration Amid Potential U.S. Ban on ByteDance's 170 Million User App
Jan 16, 2025, 03:24 PM
TikTok CEO Shou Chew is set to attend the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on January 20, joining other tech industry leaders such as Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk. This invitation comes amidst uncertainty for TikTok, as the app faces a potential ban in the U.S. due to a law requiring its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a ban starting January 19. Trump has expressed intentions to save TikTok, discussing ways to delay or overturn the ban. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the legality of the ban soon, with TikTok planning to go dark in the U.S. on Sunday if the ban is upheld. TikTok has 170 million users in the U.S., and the potential ban is driven by national security concerns.
