TikTok sale to Musk: China considers alleged deal

Bloomberg reports that the Chinese government is considering selling TikTok's U.S. business to Elon Musk to avert an impending ban in the U.S. Musk's platform X could then take over and merge the U.S. services of TikTok, with the algorithm developed in China being an important aspect of the deal.  TikTok denied the reports, while the deadline for the separation from ByteDance expires on January 19; a ban would shut down the platform in the US. Musk, who has close ties to China and Trump, could benefit from TikTok's data and use his influence in US politics, which some observers see as an advantage for China.
