Shark Tank star and investor Kevin O’Leary said Friday on Fox News Channel’s “The Story” that he or somebody else American will buy TikTok so it is not shut down.

Guest host Gillian Turner said, “Some folks are saying I depend on TikTok to run my marking for my small business. I even run TikTok as a platform to sell and close transactions. If it’s banned eventually, what does that mean for the small business economy?”

O’Leary said, “It not going to get banned. I’m going to buy it. Somebody will buy it. It won’t be Meta and Google. A regulator will stop that. A syndicate will be formed. I’d like to be involved obviously. What I would do is form a bipartisan committee, an advisory committee for 18 months. go to them and say to them, how much will you let me keep of the Chinese?”

I know it’s not likely to happen but if someone on our side could buy it and de-wokeify it, that would be grand.

Everything can be bought for a price - what’s stopping him?

marking? Guessing that is supposed to say “marketing.” Pam, honey, learn how to proofread. And, while you are at it, take a 5th-grade level lesson on the use of quotation marks.

TikTok is Communist China.
The only way a ‘purchase’ makes sense is if the buyer can be assured the CCP is nowhere in the picture in any way, shape, or form.
That’s not likely.

“that he or somebody else American will buy TikTok so it is not shut down.”

That is exactly what DC wants. To force TikTok to sell to an American so DC can force them to cooperate with the NSA/CIA, and be subject to US police state scrutiny.

DC is enraged that it’s something they cannot control. Zuckerburg hates it because it’s a superior product that is blowing Instagram away. So he called his congressmen to do something about his competition.

The same idiots lecturing us about national security are the ones just fine with Instagram and Google data mining with wild abandon, with open borders, with a massive Ukrainian lobbyist group in DC, with 5 eyes.

If they shut down TikTok, it’ll inspire the American people to protest against our masters in D.C. Well, Gen Z anyway. They’re addicted to TikTok and they don’t use Facebook because it’s a lame product and it’s controlled by Zuck.
