Will TikTok find a U.S. buyer to remain legal? After Trump vowed to make a deal to save the app, MrBeast has emerged as part of a joint bid.

Donaldson posted a jokey message on X on January 13 that read, "Okay fine, I'll buy Tik Tok so it doesn't get banned." A day later,

MrBeast may be known for his egregious monetary rewards for challenges, but the next massive spend for him is TikTok.

MrBeast has taken to TikTok to tease that he might become the company's new CEO, and that he's about to put in his 'final offer' for the app.

After various videos and comments about wanting to buy TikTok so it doesn’t get banned, MrBeast has helped put in an offer.

MrBeast, the internet’s most-followed and highest-earning content creator, has joined a new bid to buy TikTok.

After the bipartisan TikTok law was signed by former President Joe Biden in April, ByteDance said it did not have plans to sell the platform and fought the statute in court for months. China also rebuked Washington over the divestment push, though more recently it appears to be softening its stance.

The YouTube star MrBeast has joined an investor group who are vying to buy the US side of TikTok before a possible ban could be put in place.

Speculation is rising around MrBeast's bid in buying TikTok, but Kevin O'Leary remains firm that his $20 billion offer is the "only" one that has the coding and technology capabilities.

TikTok was banned in the US due to national security concerns over its Chinese ownership, prompting federal action requiring ByteDance to divest. As suitors are being lined up, the ByteDance-backed app will remain unavailable in Google and Apple app stores in the US.

The YouTube star mentioned he'd buy the platform so it wouldn't get banned, but despite speculation, TikTok is not yet for sale and Jimmy Donaldson is not officially pursuing its U.S. operations.
