Mr. Wonderful's Pipe Dream ... Maybe, Just Maybe, He'll Buy TikTok

Is it possible the guy from 'Shark Tank' is throwing a lifeline to Tik Tok?

🚨 JUST IN: Kevin O'Leary announces he is working to close a deal to buy TikTok to prevent it from being banned in the U.S.

O'Leary has launched many businesses, but it would be quite something if he swooped in and saved the social media platform.

WoW — good for Mr. Wonderful 👏🏼

I’ve never used TikTok but in a national security sense feel a lot more comfortable with O’Leary at the helm than the Chinese govt. https://t.co/M5nsoH5wAY

It has to be better than China.

The deal has been done for months. We are just now hearing about. All that worrying for nothing. https://t.co/lup7zcaSCd

That's possible.

Hopefully the deal goes forward and they work on a way to make content safer and educational for kids and less mean and mindless. https://t.co/cZhjDUV47N

A couple of weeks ago he said if tiktok was for sale he would buy it. I thought he was joking as he was smiling as he said it. I guess not! 🤔 https://t.co/mGyKUAiB6D

Apparently, he is a man of his word.

I 100% support this. There’s no need to ban Tik Tok. It’s against the first amendment. https://t.co/eVYrfRjiXW

Many more users would likely migrate to TikTok if they felt like the new owner wasn't a national security threat.

Who is the main investor? Oleary only has 300 mil, that's not nearly enough for TikTok. https://t.co/u2G3A8Uvsm

This is HUGE.

THANK YOU @kevinolearytv

People are unaware that ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, has no intention of selling it and would rather shut it down.

The livelihood of millions of Americans is based on this app.

You'd be stunned at how many stay at home moms now make six figures a year in profit just from this app.

It has almost the ability to monetize almost anything.

Hopefully, there is a way to protect American's privacy and allow Creators to continue to earn a good living on the app.
