MrBeast is reportedly now among those trying to buy TikTok

Jesse Tinsley, CEO of Employer.com, is spearheading an ambitious acquisition spree. After announcing plans to acquire the Canadian accounting startup Bench last month, Tinsley, along with YouTuber MrBeast and others, has reportedly submitted an all-cash bid to purchase TikTok. The bid’s amount remains undisclosed, and legal counsel includes Brad Bondi, brother of Pam Bondi, a Trump attorney general nominee. While TikTok briefly went offline over the weekend, it returned before an executive order extended the potential ban deadline by 75 days. ByteDance, TikTok’s owner, has not confirmed interest in the bid, with other rumored buyers including Elon Musk, Amazon, Oracle, and billionaire Frank McCourt.
