"Trump TikTok Deal: President Trump claims there's a deal for TikTok to either be sold to a U.S. company or disconnected from China, though details remain unclear. Valuation and Business Considerations: TikTok is valuable mainly for its user data and addictive algorithms, but it's uncertain how profitable the platform itself is; any deal would likely need to maintain the existing user data for maximum value."
"Potential Buyers and Market Impact: Companies like Oracle or Amazon could be interested for strategic reasons (distribution, eyeballs, AI integration), but antitrust concerns may limit buyers; the deal could be part of a broader China-related package and may face further delays.

President Trump claims there is a deal for TikTok to be sold to a U.S. company or disconnected from China, but details remain unclear. TikTok's main value comes from user data and its addictive recommendation algorithms. The platform's standalone profitability is uncertain, and a buyer would likely need to retain existing user data to preserve value. Strategic buyers such as Oracle or Amazon could gain distribution, user attention, or AI advantages from ownership. Antitrust concerns may limit potential acquirers. The transaction could be part of a broader China-related package and may face further delays.
