Kevin O’Leary of Shark Tank fame has announced that he is joining a consortium pushing to buy TikTok before the company’s ban in the US. The deadline for the Chinese-owned company’s sale or demise is just eleven days away; and the company’s C-Suite is desperately trying to make a deal with the incoming Trump administration.
"In my opinion, TikTok should not be banned in the USA, even though such a ban may benefit the X platform,” Elon Musk wrote on X in April. "Doing so would be contrary to freedom of speech and expression. It is not what America stands for." To note, a TikTok spokesperson told the BBC that the Bloomberg report was "pure fiction."
The owners behind TikTok and other Chinese officials are debating what to do in the event that the U.S. Supreme Court upholds a law that would force a sale or ban TikTok in the U.S. Things are looking like they might be ruled that way,
This potential ban is being challenged by TikTok on First Amendment grounds, with the company referring to it as an "unprecedented censorship" for the over 170 million Americans who use the app. The Supreme Court's decision could have significant repercussions for stocks such as Meta (NASDAQ: META) and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL ), among others.
