MrBeast Wants To Buy TikTok?
It’s a question because the video he posted looked fairly unserious. MrBeast, a YouTuber with a massive following worth about $500 million according to Complex, is talking about buying TikTok from ByteDance to keep it from getting banned in the United States.

Complex added that TikTok is valued around $300 billion, so if MrBeast were serious, it would be a shared endeavor with someone else with deep pockets.
All this said, it’s unclear if President-Elect Donald Trump will enforce the ban on TikTok during his presidency. Per Forbes, he has invited the CEO of TikTok, Shou Zi Chew, to sit in a position of honor at the inauguration on Monday, January 20, 2025.
