Analysis
Elon Musk's potential acquisition of TikTok has sparked widespread interest. US President Donald Trump has expressed support for Musk or Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison acquiring TikTok and forming a joint venture with the US government to address national security concerns. Trump has signed an executive order extending the deadline for TikTok's sale by 75 days and said he is willing to let the US own 50% of the company. However, ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, has firmly rejected selling the platform and expressed hope that the US will provide a fair and non-discriminatory environment. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal's investment firm, Kingdom Holding (KHC), has said it is interested in investing if Musk or anyone else acquires TikTok. KHC currently holds shares in Musk's social media platform X and artificial intelligence startup xAI. Although Trump is open to Musk's acquisition of TikTok, the final outcome of the deal will depend on negotiations between ByteDance and the US government, as well as China's stance.
