Summary

China is reportedly considering selling TikTok’s U.S. operations to Elon Musk if the company cannot avoid a potential U.S. ban, Bloomberg reports.

Officials prefer TikTok to remain under parent ByteDance but acknowledge the possibility of a forced sale or government-arranged deal.

One proposal involves Musk’s platform X co-managing TikTok U.S. Beijing’s “golden share” in ByteDance has raised national security concerns in the U.S., with a Supreme Court ruling on a TikTok ban or sale expected by January 19.

Neither TikTok nor Musk confirmed any negotiations.
