Analysis
Trump is open to a deal with Musk to acquire TikTok, and has said he would be open to a sale to either Musk or Oracle founder Larry Ellison. Trump believes TikTok could be worth hundreds of billions of dollars if the U.S. is involved in the deal, but worthless without U.S. participation. He has proposed a 50/50 joint venture with the U.S., and said Ellison is in favor of the proposal. Previously, Trump had ordered TikTok banned from operating in the U.S., citing national security concerns. Both Musk and Ellison are American tech giants, and their interest in acquiring TikTok suggests the app's future in the U.S. remains uncertain.
