Social media influencer MrBeast says he'd buy TikTok to keep it from being banned. Elon Musk reportedly is interested in buying the app as well.

MrBeast has seen incredible growth in his TikTok following after revealing his plans to buy the platform amid its ban.

The social media star's Beast Games is airing Amazon Prime Video. The reality show, inspired by the Netflix hit Squid Game, sees contestants battling it out for a grand prize of $5 million. Last week, Variety reported that the show had surpassed 50 million unique viewers in 25 days.

Jimmy Donaldson — better known online as MrBeast — isn’t in the TikTok bidding race just yet, according to a representative for the YouTube star.

After various videos and comments about wanting to buy TikTok so it doesn’t get banned, MrBeast has helped put in an offer.

After the bipartisan TikTok law was signed by former President Joe Biden in April, ByteDance said it did not have plans to sell the platform and fought the statute in court for months. China also rebuked Washington over the divestment push, though more recently it appears to be softening its stance.

MrBeast may be known for his egregious monetary rewards for challenges, but the next massive spend for him is TikTok.

The platform is in need of saving in the United States, where approximately 170 million people have TikTok accounts. On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a federal law that will ban the platform on Jan. 19 unless TikTok’s China-based owner ByteDance divests its U.S. operations.

MrBeast, a prominent YouTuber, is exploring potential purchase of TikTok, amidst discussions with various interested buyers. His role is expected to be operational rather than financial. TikTok has two months to secure a buyer or face a potential ban in the US.

YouTuber MrBeast, X owner Elon Musk and Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison are names that have floated around in the past week.

The YouTube star has become known for producing a range of content—including big-budget, elaborate stunts and charitable acts.
