Trump Claims Mysterious Billionaire Bunch Will “Totally” Buy TikTok—Just Give Him Two Weeks, Again

Former President Donald Trump announced he has secured a buyer for TikTok, teasing a group of “very wealthy people” without naming names.

In a Sunday Fox News interview, Trump said the deal might still require Chinese approval, hinting at involvement from President Xi Jinping.

Details about the alleged buyers remain nonexistent, with Trump promising to reveal their identities in his trademark “two weeks”—a timeline historically as solid as vapor.

Trump previously floated a U.S. government-backed joint venture for TikTok, proposing a 50% American stake in the app.

Speculation had included Trump allies like Larry Ellison and Elon Musk, though Musk’s current chaos makes him an unlikely contender.

The statement comes amid repeated delays in enforcing legislation that would force TikTok’s Chinese parent, ByteDance, to divest or face a ban in the United States.
