    It doesn’t matter who the hell wants to buy TikTok if ByteDance still doesn’t want to sell.

    I don’t know why we keep having these sorts of conversations when they’ve signalled they have no intent to give in to the demands of the US.

      If anything large US companies signaling a desire to buy would make it less likely that a sale actually happens. The awareness that social media has the ability to influence users politically is very much there now and nobody wants that all in the hands of one country, especially one as adversarial as the US.
