President Donald Trump expressed openness to Tesla CEO Elon Musk or Oracle chairman Larry Ellison acquiring TikTok as part of a joint venture with the U.S. government. At a press conference, Trump confirmed he would welcome such a purchase, suggesting a deal where half of TikTok would be given to the U.S. in exchange for operational permits. This comes after Trump signed an executive order delaying the TikTok ban by 75 days, allowing the app to remain online despite its absence from app stores. The situation remains fluid as negotiations unfold.
