Popular YouTuber MrBeast claimed he has an "offer ready" to buy TikTok ahead of the potential U.S. ban of the popular app depending on the Supreme Court's decision on whether or not to uphold the bipartisan law signed by Democratic President Joe Biden.

Calls to shut down the popular short-form video app in the U.S. increased amid national security concerns that a foreign party could allegedly control the platform and compromise the data of the 170 million users who rely on the app to promote businesses and maintain influencer relevance to generate income.

With the impending shutdown of TikTok approaching on January 19 unless SCOTUS grants an injunction to block the federal law banning it, YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson—AKA MrBeast—posted a video on the app suggesting he was prepared to take ownership of it.

Donaldson has over 340 million YouTube subscribers, the most of any channels on the platform, and he is the third most followed content creator on TikTok with over 106.9 million followers.

In 2022, his estimated net worth was believed to be $500 million.

"I just got out of a meeting with a bunch of billionaires. TikTok, we mean business," he says in the video as a man presenting contracts in an open suitcase stands next to him.

Donaldson continues:

"This is my lawyer right here, we have an offer already for you."

The short clip concludes with him saying:

"We wanna buy the platform, America deserves TikTok. Give me a seat at the table, let me save this platform TikTok."

Here is the video.

Reactions to his proclamation were mixed.




Users were skeptical about his ability to purchase TikTok.


But, hey, whatever it takes to save TikTok, right?



Some TikTok creators anticipating the ban jumped on other similar short-form video apps as replacements, including Triller, Substack, and the most popular, RedNote, a social networking and e-commerce platform from China.

So many so-called "TikTok refugees" have migrated to RedNote that it's triggered a sudden spike in users learning Mandarin on Duolingo to optimize their engagement on the replacement video-sharing platform.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
