The White House really wants to get a deal to sell Chinese short-video app TikTok to a US company and remove all possibilities of the Mainland using it as a way to spy on Americans. Except, apparently,

New bidders have surfaced for a TikTok acquisition, including Jeff Bezos of Amazon and OnlyFans founder Tim Stokely.

Amazon, owned by Jeff Bezos, has placed a bid to acquire TikTok. As AFROTECH™ previously told you, the app owned by ByteDance is facing a ban in the United States due to its association with China — although TikTok states it is not tied to the Chinese government.

Led by billionaire Frank McCourt of Project Liberty, with ‘Shark Tank’ investor Kevin O’Leary, this consortium offered over $20 billion, according to Fortune. It includes Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and aims to rearchitect TikTok for user data control.

Trump has proposed the creation of "TikTok America", a new entity that would split ownership of the app between US investors, existing ByteDance investors, and ByteDance itself.

Days before TikTok’s April 5 deadline to sell their U.S. operations, Jeff Bezos’ online retailer Amazon has submitted a bid to buy the ByteDance-owned app, a source told NBC News.

The Trump administration’s decision on the sale of TikTok to an American buyer will be made public before the deadline. Vice President JD Vance gave the indication on Thursday as concerns grow in the United States over the fate of the short-video social media platform.

News of the offer emerged as Trump prepared to meet with senior officials to review the approaching cutoff for TikTok's sale.

Trump gave China’s ByteDance until Saturday to sell or divest its U.S. TikTok business. A source confirmed to NBC News that the e-commerce giant had made a last-minute pitch.
