MrBeast and Kevin O'Leary Eye TikTok Purchase Amid Supreme Court Deadline
Jan 15, 2025, 07:11 PM
MrBeast, the popular YouTuber, has publicly expressed his interest in purchasing TikTok, a move that comes amidst speculation about the app's future in the U.S. due to potential regulatory actions. In a video posted on TikTok, MrBeast stated he had met with billionaires and was ready to make an offer to buy the platform, emphasizing that 'America deserves TikTok.' This follows reports of other high-profile figures, including Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary, also expressing interest in acquiring the app. The urgency of MrBeast's proposal is heightened by the looming deadline set by the Supreme Court regarding TikTok's operations in the U.S., with parent company ByteDance preparing for possible outcomes. MrBeast's proposal adds a new dimension to the ongoing discussions about TikTok's ownership.
