The White House really wants to get a deal to sell Chinese short-video app TikTok to a US company and remove all possibilities of the Mainland using it as a way to spy on Americans. Except, apparently, one Big Tech firm that Team Trump isn’t so keen on: Online retail giant Amazon, On The Money has learned

The Trump administration’s decision on the sale of TikTok to an American buyer will be made public before the deadline. Vice President JD Vance gave the indication on Thursday as concerns grow in the United States over the fate of the short-video social media platform.

New bidders have surfaced for a TikTok acquisition, including Jeff Bezos of Amazon and OnlyFans founder Tim Stokely.

Trump has proposed the creation of "TikTok America", a new entity that would split ownership of the app between US investors, existing ByteDance investors, and ByteDance itself.

Led by billionaire Frank McCourt of Project Liberty, with ‘Shark Tank’ investor Kevin O’Leary, this consortium offered over $20 billion, according to Fortune. It includes Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and aims to rearchitect TikTok for user data control.

Amazon, owned by Jeff Bezos, has placed a bid to acquire TikTok. As AFROTECH™ previously told you, the app owned by ByteDance is facing a ban in the United States due to its association with China — although TikTok states it is not tied to the Chinese government.

Trump gave China’s ByteDance until Saturday to sell or divest its U.S. TikTok business. A source confirmed to NBC News that the e-commerce giant had made a last-minute pitch.

News of the offer emerged as Trump prepared to meet with senior officials to review the approaching cutoff for TikTok's sale.

Several potential buyers have bid on the popular social media app to ensure its continued access in the United States.
