Will TikTok find a way to remain legal in the U.S. under a new ownership structure? A range of possible new owners for TikTok in the U.S. — including MrBeast, Elon Musk and Oracle founder Larry Ellison — have emerged as a federal law banning TikTok in the country went into effect this Sunday,

The president-elect and Joe Biden are reportedly exploring legal avenues for keeping the app accessible. Meanwhile, a growing list of entrepreneurs are said to be weighing a buyout.

YouTube personality “MrBeast” Jimmy Donaldson and a group of investors tapped Brad Bondi, the brother of President Donald Trump’s pick to run the Justice Department, for legal advice on their bid to buy TikTok.

Jimmy Donaldson - aka MrBeast - was jubilant as he told his tens of millions of TikTok followers about his bid to buy the platform. "I might become you guys' new CEO! I'm super excited!" Donaldson said from a private jet. He then proceeded to promise $10,000 to five random new followers.

A string of big names from the world of tech and even the US government have been touted as potential new owners of the social media giant. It comes after President Trump signed an executive order giving the company 75 days to convince officials it does not threaten national security.

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.

TikTok was no longer available in the USA. As no buyer could be found, the ban, which both Republicans and Democrats under former US President Joe Biden had campaigned for, came into effect last Sunday.

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order granting TikTok a 75-day extension to comply with a law banning the app if it is not sold. The social media platform briefly went dark in the US days before Trump took office, after the Supreme Court denied a bid by its Chinese owner ByteDance to overturn the legislation.

TikTok’s time will expire on Jan. 19 if no buyer is found or the Supreme Court rules in the app’s favor. Here’s what to know.
