  • Chinese government officials are reportedly drawing up contingency plans for TikTok’s potential US ban.
  • One potential scenario under discussion includes selling TikTok’s US operations to Musk’s X (formerly Twitter).
  • If this happens, X could end up gaining TikTok’s 170 million+ user base in the US.

The deadline for TikTok’s potential US ban or sale is looming large. The social media platform’s parent firm ByteDance has till January 19 to either sell it’s US stake in TikTok or face a ban that would make the app unavailable in the country. Now, it looks like Elon Musk is in the running to acquire the US operations of TikTok.
