Could TikTok be sold to Elon Musk?

If the Supreme Court upholds a sell-or-ban ruling on TikTok, Chinese officials are considering options including selling the social video giant's U.S. operations to Elon Musk, Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal report, citing anonymous sources.

Musk did not respond to a request for comment; a TikTok representative told The Wall Street Journal, “We cannot be expected to comment on pure fiction.”

TikTok owner ByteDance’s leaders have said their priority is to fight the ban.
