Trump reveals which US billionaires and execs could take part in TikTok deal

President Trump named billionaires including Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison in talks to secure U.S. control of TikTok amid national security concerns.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump disclosed that Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, Michael Dell, and Larry Ellison may join a deal to put TikTok under U.S. control.
  • National security concerns prompted previous attempts to ban TikTok, with Congress passing legislation in 2024 even as the White House delayed enforcement during ongoing negotiations.
  • White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Oracle would oversee data and security, Americans would control six of seven board seats, and the administration paused enforcement during talks.
  • A court blocked an enforcement order but Congress passed 2024 legislation forcing a sale, and ByteDance and TikTok lost a related case at the U.S. Supreme Court in January.
  • The AP said officials have until Dec. 16 to finalize a TikTok deal while observers warn control could pass to buyers like Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison.
