O’Leary has launched many businesses, but it would be quite something if he swooped in and saved the social media platform.
WoW — good for Mr. Wonderful 👏🏼
I’ve never used TikTok but in a national security sense feel a lot more comfortable with O’Leary at the helm than the Chinese govt. https://t.co/M5nsoH5wAY

It has to be better than China.

The deal has been done for months. We are just now hearing about. All that worrying for nothing. https://t.co/lup7zcaSCd

That’s possible.

A couple of weeks ago he said if tiktok was for sale he would buy it. I thought he was joking as he was smiling as he said it. I guess not! 🤔 https://t.co/mGyKUAiB6D

Apparently, he is a man of his word.
I 100% support this. There’s no need to ban Tik Tok. It’s against the first amendment. https://t.co/eVYrfRjiXW

Who is the main investor? Oleary only has 300 mil, that’s not nearly enough for TikTok. https://t.co/u2G3A8Uvsm

The livelihood of millions of Americans is based on this app.
You’d be stunned at how many stay at home moms now make six figures a year in profit just from this app.
It has almost the ability to monetize almost anything.
