YouTuber MrBeast has joined American investors aiming to acquire TikTok's US business amid a 75-day deadline for resolving its ownership to avoid a ban. MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, expressed willingness to buy TikTok, supporting a bid led by tech entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley. The group has submitted an all-cash offer, with the aim of partnering with the US government to secure TikTok for American users. TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, currently resists the sale.
