Ex-Activision CEO Bobby Kotick pitched buying TikTok to potential partners, including Sam Altman: report

Former CEO of Activision, Bobby Kotick, has expressed interest in buying TikTok if a bill requiring the app to be sold to a US-based owner or shut down is passed. Kotick is reportedly seeking partners for the potential deal, including OpenAI. The proposed legislation gained unanimous approval from the House Energy and Commerce Committee and is set for a House vote, with President Joe Biden indicating his support. However, TikTok sees the bill as an effective ban and believes selling to a US entity would be impractical. Kotick previously faced controversy during his tenure at Activision over allegations of sexual harassment and intervention in harassment cases.
