MrBeast Flies Private Jet to Make Official TikTok Purchase Bid

Social media sensation, MrBeast, has put forth a proposal to acquire TikTok following its close call with closure in the U.S., as ownership of the popular app shifted away from ByteDance.

On the evening of January 18th, TikTok temporarily stopped operating for U.S. users, as per the deadline set by President Joe Biden for ByteDance to divest its shares or face potential prohibition in America.

The app quickly returned after Donald Trump, the present U.S. president, announced an executive order that postponed a law prohibiting it on American soil.

A number of well-known individuals are expressing interest in potentially buying TikTok as a means to prevent future disputes, among them being Kevin O’Leary from Shark Tank and YouTube sensation Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson.

Initially proposed in early January, the host of the Beast Games has now officially declared his intention to acquire TikTok.
