President Trump Says He's Open to Musk Buying TikTok
Hindustan Times Jammu
|January 23, 2025
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would be open to tech billionaire Elon Musk — the owner of social media platform X — buying Chinese-owned app TikTok.
WASHINGTON:
"I would be if he wanted to buy it," Trump told reporters when asked if he was open to Musk, world's richest man and the head of a budget-cutting initiative in the new administration, acquiring the video-sharing platform.
TikTok is facing down a US law that ordered the company to divest from its Chinese owner ByteDance or be banned in the United States.
In one of his first acts in office, Trump ordered a pause on enforcing the law that should have seen TikTok effectively made illegal in the country on Sunday, a day before he took office for a second term.
The executive order directed his attorney general to delay the implementation of the law for 75 days.

Asrani & the trap of the Bollywood stereotype
What will you remember Asrani for? Sholay? Abhimaan? Since the death of the veteran actor was announced, a lot of obituaries and fan-posts on social media have mentioned his iconic dialogue from Sholay \"Hum angrezon ke zamane ke jailer hain\" (I am a jailor of the British era). Asrani acted in more than 300 films in Hindi and Gujarati. Some small, some big.
