Social media influencer MrBeast says he'd buy TikTok to keep it from being banned. Elon Musk reportedly is interested in buying the app as well.

MrBeast himself hasn’t publicly commented on which side he’ll choose yet. “The leading groups who are all credible [sic] bidding on Tik Tok have reached out for us to help them, I’m excited to partner/make this a reality,” he posted on Wednesday.

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.
