#Trump Agrees to TikTok Sale to Musk#

U.S. President Donald Trump is open to Elon Musk’s acquisition of TikTok, stating he would support the deal if Musk wanted it. Trump also said he is open to Oracle founder Larry Ellison's acquisition of TikTok and proposed a 50/50 joint venture agreement with the U.S., believing it would bring significant value to TikTok. Ellison agreed, calling it a good deal. Previously, Trump had ordered TikTok to be banned in the U.S., citing security risks and the potential for the app to leak U.S. user data to the Chinese government. Musk's acquisition of TikTok is considered a potential solution to this issue, as Musk is a U.S. citizen, and his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, have strong influence in the U.S. However, the deal still faces many challenges, including scrutiny from the U.S. government and approval from the Chinese government.
