Summary
China is reportedly considering selling TikTok’s U.S. operations to Elon Musk if the company cannot avoid a potential U.S. ban, Bloomberg reports.
Officials prefer TikTok to remain under parent ByteDance but acknowledge the possibility of a forced sale or government-arranged deal.
One proposal involves Musk’s platform X co-managing TikTok U.S. Beijing’s “golden share” in ByteDance has raised national security concerns in the U.S., with a Supreme Court ruling on a TikTok ban or sale expected by January 19.
Neither TikTok nor Musk confirmed any negotiations.
Thanks, how can two supposedly reputable news sources report compete opposite.
Your guess is as good as mine.
