After years of rejecting the idea of a sale of TikTok’s US assets to an American buyer in order to avert a ban, China and ByteDance may have found an owner they could live with: Elon Musk.

Chinese officials are reportedly exploring a backup plan for TikTok after the Supreme Court appeared unlikely to save it from a US ban. With TikTok’s legal options nearly exhausted, multiple news outlets are reporting that China is considering an option it previously said it wouldn’t: letting ByteDance sell the app.

TikTok has rejected claims that its US business could be sold to Elon Musk. The platform’s statement comes in response to a Bloomberg report on Monday, which said Chinese officials were considering selling its US business to Elon Musk should they fail to convince the Supreme Court to overturn the ban.

As if the billionaire megadonor doesn't already have enough access to Donald Trump, Elon Musk is reportedly poised to receive office space near the West Wing.

Elon Musk has been given an office in the White House complex for his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the latest sign of his closeness to Donald Trump.

After allegedly moving onto Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate to have 24/7 access to the president-elect, Elon Musk will reportedly follow him to the White House, where he’s anticipated to have office space.
