TikTok is about to be banned in the United States after the government set new rules for the app’s operation in the country, measures that the Chinese company ByteDance did not comply with.

To try to prevent the closure of the popular video app in the US, MrBeast revealed that he would like to buy TikTok. “Okay, I’ll buy TikTok so it doesn’t get banned,” he said on his X (formerly Twitter) profile.
Although it’s unclear whether MrBeast is serious, internet users certainly didn’t approve of the idea. “Please stay far away,” asked one X user. “I’d rather it get banned,” admitted another.
Despite the criticism, the YouTuber made another post to add: “Not ironically, so many billionaires have reached out to me since I tweeted this, let’s see if we can pull this off.”
Unironically I’ve had so many billionaires reach out to me since I tweeted this, let’s see if we can pull this off 🙌🏻
