James "Jimmy" Donaldson, known as MrBeast on YouTube, made an offhand comment to X this week, saying he'd buy TikTok so it doesn't get banned.

The high-profile names who could potentially buy TikTok following the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the law banning the platform in the US.

MrBeast is part of a growing list of individuals and businesses that have expressed interesting in purchasing TikTok.

TikTok’s time will expire on Jan. 19 if no buyer is found or the Supreme Court rules in the app’s favor. Here’s what to know.

The YouTube sensation has proposed buying TikTok as a unique solution to stop the social platform from being banned in the U.S.

MrBeast shared a video on TikTok pleading with the company to let him save the application for millions of its users in the US.

MrBeast is serious about buying TikTok. With the TikTok ban coming up soon, the ultra-popular YouTuber aka Jimmy Donaldson, took to X earlier this week to post, “Okay, fine, I’ll buy Tik Tok so it doesn’t get banned.”

The media personality himself is also a controversial figure. MrBeast, real name James Stephen “Jimmy” Donaldson, has faced accusations of fostering a difficult working environment, bullying employees, rigging contests, misleading fans, and knowingly employing a registered sex offender.

After revealing interest to buy TikTok, MrBeast says he has an offer to present to the company after meeting with a group of billionaires.

MrBeast is putting his name in the hat of billionaires fighting to buy TikTok before it’s U.S. death day. Just two days after he tweeted that he would buy the Chinese-owned company, the content-creator said that he had a meeting with billionaires looking to cut a check for platform.

Reports suggest Chinese officials are considering selling part of TikTok to Elon Musk to keep the platform operational in the U.S.
