READING NOW Microsoft plans to buy Tiktok
US President Donald Trump claimed that Microsoft had negotiated to buy Tiktok. Trump said he wanted to see a “proposal war” on the future of social media platform Tiktok, a statement to journalists. As it is known, Tiktok was banned in the United States, but Trump postponed the implementation of this decision.

While Microsoft refused to comment on the issue, Tiktok and its parent company ByTedance have not made any explanation so far. Tiktok, owned by China -based ByTedance, has 170 million users in the USA. However, the platform is going through a challenging process due to national security concerns. A law, which came into force on January 19, required byTedance to sell or ban Tiktok’s US version. However, on January 20, when Trump began the second period of his presidency, he re -activated the practice by signing a decree postponing the implementation of this law for 75 days.

Microsoft’s second tiktok trial

This is not the first time Microsoft’s efforts to purchase Tiktok for the first time. In the first period of his presidency, Tiktok announced that he had to separate US operations from ByTedance, and in 2020 Microsoft came to the forefront as one of the potential buyers of the platform. However, these negotiations failed and Trump’s pressures ended with a few months after leaving the presidency. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, in a statement in 2021, described the process in that period as one of the most strange things I’ve worked for. “

Trump said last week that Tiktok had negotiated with more than one person on the acquisition and the decision about the future of the application could be taken within 30 days. He also stated that Tesla CEO Elon Musk would support Tiktok’s acquisition. However, Musk did not make any explanation about Trump’s proposal.

On the other hand, the artificial intelligence attempt Perplexity AI proposed to unite with Tiktok. In addition, rumors are also interested in buying Oracle. Apart from Oracle, the investor group led by Frank McCourt and Youtube star Mr. Beast is also interested in Tiktok.
