Elon Musk has stated that he is not looking to acquire the popular short video application TikTok owned by the Chinese company ByteDance. US President Donald Trump had mentioned that the application could either be banned or sold in the US due to national security concerns. Musk said, “I did not make an offer for TikTok,” emphasizing his lack of familiarity with the short video format and the fact that he does not personally use the application. ByteDance has been given until January to continue its operations in the US, while Apple and Google have not yet put the application back in their stores.
