MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, has announced his involvement in efforts to buy TikTok, just days before a federal ban threatens to shut the platform down in the U.S. On Wednesday, Donaldson shared a TikTok video stating he had met with “a bunch of billionaires” to organize an offer for TikTok’s U.S. operations, emphasizing, “America deserves TikTok.”

As the January 19 deadline approaches, TikTok faces shutdown unless it divests its U.S. assets. The Supreme Court could still block the ban, but reports suggest justices are leaning toward upholding the law. Other potential buyers include Shark Tank billionaire Kevin O’Leary and former L.A. Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, whose group has reportedly valued TikTok’s U.S. operations at $20 billion.

Donaldson, a YouTube star known for his extravagant giveaways and a reported $700 million annual income, has faced mixed reactions to his involvement. Meanwhile, Americans are preparing for TikTok’s potential demise, exploring alternatives like Red Note. Whether MrBeast and his team can secure the platform remains uncertain as time runs out.
