With TikTok's days in the U.S. numbered, the Chinese government is discussing options to keep it in America that include a potential deal with Elon Musk, according to media reports.
Chinese officials are considering whether Musk could acquire the app's U.S. operations if it is banned, Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the talks. Musk would still run X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter that he acquired in 2022, per the reports.
