President Trump's executive order postponed the TikTok ban, allowing a group led by entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley and creator MrBeast to propose an all-cash offer to purchase the platform from ByteDance. This move aims to ensure TikTok remains accessible and aligned with American values. Tinsley is engaged in discussions with the U.S. government and sought a response from ByteDance's board. This situation follows a significant legal framework mandating the sale of TikTok's U.S. operations to an American company to combat foreign adversarial control.
Tinsley wrote in a post on X Monday, "I'm in Washington, D.C., at the inauguration to meet with President Trump and his team to discuss our offer to buy TikTok ... Now, we're awaiting a response from ByteDance's board."
MrBeast is the most-followed and highest-earning creator in the world, tallying more than 347 million followers on YouTube and expanding into businesses including snack brand Feastables.
