China 'in talks' to sell TikTok to Elon Musk

SUMMARY

Chinese officials are considering selling TikTok's US operations to Elon Musk due to potential bans in America. The app faces a deadline for its parent company, Bytedance, to sell after national security concerns were raised. TikTok argued before the Supreme Court that a ban infringes on free speech, but justices suggested they may uphold the law.

While Bytedance insists TikTok is not for sale, discussions in China reportedly include a possible Musk takeover. TikTok has dismissed these reports as “pure fiction.” Musk has said he opposes such a ban, emphasizing the importance of freedom of speech. Donald Trump has shifted his stance, now seeking a political resolution regarding TikTok.
