Analysis
Currently, the possibility of Musk acquiring TikTok has attracted widespread attention. US President Trump has expressed support for Musk or Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison to acquire TikTok and form a joint venture with the US government. Trump even offered to give the US 50% of TikTok shares in exchange for operating permission. Despite ByteDance's firm refusal to sell TikTok, Trump has signed an executive order extending the deadline for sale by 75 days. Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court's national security law ruling may force ByteDance to reconsider its sale plans. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal's investment company Kingdom Holding (KHC) has also stated its intention to invest if Musk or anyone else acquires TikTok. KHC currently holds shares in Musk's social media platform X and AI startup xAI, so its investment intention also provides potential financial support for Musk's acquisition of TikTok. However, the Chinese government has expressed a cautious stance on the transaction, stating that it hopes the US will provide a fair and non-discriminatory environment, indicating that the Chinese government may intervene in the sale of TikTok.
