Musk Confirms He Does Not Plan To Acquire TikTok

Elon Musk, the tech billionaire, made it clear that he has no interest in acquiring the video-sharing app TikTok. He further emphasized that he has no specific plans or intentions regarding what actions he would take if he were to become the owner of the platform.

"I haven't made a bid for TikTok and I don't have any plans for what I would do if I had TikTok," Musk remarked, noting that he doesn't personally use the app and isn't familiar with its format. He added, "I'm not chomping at the bit to acquire TikTok; I don't acquire companies in general, it's quite rare." Musk also mentioned that his billion-dollar purchase of social media platform Twitter, now known as X, was an exception to his usual approach.
