Second-time leader of the free world Donald J. Trump is reportedly open to the idea of Elon Musk or Oracle head honcho Larry Ellison, among others, buying TikTok. But there's a catch. In return for oiling the wheels of the deal, Trump thinks the US government should get half of TikTok.
Bloomberg reports that President Trump indicated his approval for Musk or Ellison to snap up TikTok at a White House event yesterday. "What I’m thinking about saying to somebody is buy it and give half to the United States of America, half, and we’ll give you the permit, and they’ll have a great partner,” Trump said.
