Blogger and entrepreneur MrBeast expressed his desire to purchase TikTok to prevent its ban in the United States.

On January 13, popular blogger and entrepreneur MrBeast (James Donaldson) shared his plans to buy TikTok to prevent its ban in the United States.

“Alright, fine, I’ll buy TikTok so it doesn’t get banned,” the American blogger stated on social media platform X.

It is important to note that wealthy individuals have already reached out to the well-known American blogger, expressing interest in collaboration.

“Ironically, since I tweeted this, I’ve been contacted by so many billionaires, let’s see if we can make this happen,” MrBeast mentioned in a subsequent post on X.

In April 2024, a bill was passed in the U.S. that could lead to a ban on the use of the TikTok app. The Senate supported a package of four laws, one of which requires the Chinese company ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, to sell the app to a foreign company. This has been given a nine-month deadline.

Otherwise, the app will be removed from American app stores, and users will lose access to it. The deadline is set for January 19, 2025, making this date crucial for the platform's future.

According to The Wall Street Journal, in the fourth quarter of 2024, ByteDance, the owner of the popular TikTok app, remains one of the most valuable private companies in the world, valued at approximately $300 billion.
