President Donald Trump had recently expressed his support in SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk or Oracle CEO Larry Ellison purchasing TikTok.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he was open to billionaire Elon Musk buying social media app TikTok if the Tesla CEO wanted to do so.

Tesla ( TSLA) stock jumped more than 6% Friday amid speculation that CEO Elon Musk could potentially buy TikTok. The social media platform needs to find an American buyer, or it will effectively face a countrywide ban starting next week — and Musk is reportedly the most likely candidate.

Tesla bull Ross Gerber doubts the effectiveness of Donald Trump's executive order to delay TikTok's federal ban, citing national security laws, as Elon Musk's X emerges as a contender for TikTok's U.S.

Content creator Jimmy Donaldson, known on the Internet as MrBeast, has made it clear he is interested in buying TikTok. Donaldson has the most subscribers of any user on YouTube— over 340 million—and boasts over 113 million TikTok followers.

Unless its owner agrees to sell, TikTok will be banned in the U.S. on Jan. 19. Here's how to download your account if no one buys the app.

I met with the owners of Tiktok, the big owners, it’s worthless if it doesn’t get a permit,” Trump said. “It’s worth like a trillion dollars.”

Three days after ByteDance's TikTok went dark and then was quickly revived in the United States, users who deleted the app were anxiously checking iPhone and Android devices to find it still unavailable to be downloaded again.

He previously floated a joint venture, saying that the US should be entitled to half of the app.

An early payoff has already been scored by TikTok, the video-sharing app that spent months currying favor with the then-candidate Trump in hopes that if he won the election, he would help it survive a threatened shutdown.
