(CNN)– Youtube and TikTok Star Mr. Beast is looking to buy TikTok as part of a group of investors. Mr.Beast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, appeared to make a joke about buying the social media platform earlier this month. But his lawyer says he was actually serious. TikTok went dark on Saturday night ahead of a nationwide ban. But it came back online about 12 hours later, after President Donald Trump announced a 75 delay on the ban. During that time TikTok needs to find a non-China based owner to buy it or face a permanent shutdown in the U.S. Categories: News
