President Donald Trump has shown willingness to consider Elon Musk or Larry Ellison as potential buyers for TikTok, mentioning them as suitable partners for ByteDance. During a press briefing, Trump suggested transferring half of TikTok's ownership to the U.S. Government in exchange for operating permits. His remarks came after he signed an executive order delaying TikTok's ban for 75 days, permitting the platform to continue operating temporarily. The development has sparked interest from prominent tech firms, and Chinese authorities have hinted at being open to discussing a possible sale.
