《华盛顿邮报》透露,一位位于美国西部州的富有企业家将于周三提出以约 500 亿美元收购 TikTok。
今年早些时候,拉里·埃里森曾被认为是这款社交媒体应用的潜在买家,该应用由中国公司字节跳动所有,而他位于德克萨斯州奥斯汀的公司甲骨文 (Oracle) 已经是 TikTok 的云计算合作伙伴。
其他潜在买家包括特斯拉和 SpaceX 创始人埃隆·马斯克、亿万富翁弗兰克·麦考特和“创智赢家”明星凯文·奥利里,他表示已承诺出资 200 亿美元,作为收购 TikTok 品牌并计划在美国本土从头重建其算法。
特朗普总统在上任前曾承诺“拯救 TikTok”,并在上任第一天签署了一项行政命令,对前总统乔·拜登签署的一项法律给予 75 天的宽限期,该法律要求将该应用从其中国母公司有条件地剥离。
A wealthy entrepreneur based in a western US state will be making an offer to buy TikTok for around $50 billion on Wednesday, The Post can reveal.
Larry Ellison had been floated as a potential buyer earlier this year for the social media app, which is owned by the Chinese firm ByteDance, and his company Oracle, which is based in Austin, Texas, already serves as a cloud computing partner for TikTok.
Other potential buyers have included Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk as well as billionaire Frank McCourt and “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary, who have said they have $20 billion in commitments as part of a plan to buy the TikTok brand and rebuild its algorithm from scratch on US soil.
President Trump had pledged to “save TikTok” before taking office and signed an executive order on Day One granting a 75-day reprieve from a law signed by former President Joe Biden that mandated the qualified divestment of the app from its Chinese parent company.
