MrBeast Joins All-Cash Bid for TikTok's U.S. Operations as ByteDance Faces 75-Day Deadline
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson and is known as a YouTube star with over 346 million subscribers and the internet's highest-earning content creator, has joined a group of American investors led by tech entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley in an all-cash bid to acquire TikTok's U.S. operations. This move comes as a response to a looming 75-day deadline set by President Donald Trump for ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, to divest its U.S. operations or face a potential ban. The investor group, which includes institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, aims to ensure TikTok remains accessible and operational in the U.S. while addressing national security concerns. The specifics of the offer, including the amount and the full list of investors, have not been disclosed. TikTok, with approximately 170 million users in the U.S., briefly went offline over the weekend but was restored following Trump's executive order extending the deadline by 75 days.
