TikTok is one of the world's most popular social media apps, but it could soon be banned in the US if the app is not sold by Chinese-based parent company ByteDance.

After it was supposed to be banned as of January 19 if no US buyer was found, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order this week that gives TikTok 75 days to find a buyer for the app before it is banned for good in the USA. The search is now for a new owner for the social media app, though ByteDance must still be convinced to sell the app. If it’s open to a sale, there are some big names lined up to make the purchase.

With the sale of TikTok looming, veteran oddsmaker Adam Thompson of Bookies.com has put together hypothetical odds of who could be the next TikTok owner.

Contending Owners

Jesse Tinsley/Mr. Beast group (+450)

Jimmy Donaldson, aka Mr. Beast, is the most popular YouTuber in the world and has recently joined up with Jesse Tinsley, the founder of the online HR company employer.com, to make a bid for TikTok. Given how much Mr. Beast has about social media, he would be the perfect brand ambassador for TikTok.

Frank McCourt/Kevin O’Leary group (+500)

Frank McCourt is the former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Kevin O’Leary is one of the stars of ABC’s Shark Tank. The two businessmen could join forces to purchase TikTok given how much financial backing the two have combined, plus other investors they can pull in as part of Project Liberty.

Larry Ellison (+600)

Larry Ellison is the CTO of Oracle, which manages the servers for TikTok’s US users. This week, President Trump said he would be open to Ellison owning TikTok. Ellison is the fourth richest person in the world, so money would not be an object for him in acquiring TikTok.

Elon Musk (+650)

Musk is one of the most notable businessmen in the world right now, plus he was recently appointed the Administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency. Like Ellison, President Trump recently said he would be open to Musk purchasing TikTok. Notably, Musk is the owner of X, formerly known as Twitter. Musk is also the world’s richest person.

Microsoft (+850)

Microsoft is one of the biggest technology companies in the world, so it only makes sense that it would consider making a bid to purchase TikTok and add it to its giant tech portfolio.
