In a bombshell announcement, President Donald Trump revealed the big names who could take over the app's operations in the country. We're talking about media moguls and tech giants in a deal that could prevent the platform's ban and be worth billions.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump confirmed that "American patriots" are in the investor group. He named figures like Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire owner of Fox, and his son, Lachlan Murdoch. "Lachlan is involved. Rupert will probably be in the group, I think they'll be in the group," he stated.

The impressive list doesn't stop there. Trump also included Larry Ellison, the legendary founder of Oracle, and Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Technologies. The mention of these names signals that the operation is not just a negotiation, but a true power play involving the most prominent figures in the American business world.

Trump's revelation comes amidst a tense regulatory landscape. Congress has already passed a law requiring ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, to sell its U.S. operations to avoid a ban over national security concerns.

While Oracle is already reportedly in charge of managing user data, the new plan details that six of the seven U.S. TikTok board members would be American. The final maneuver for control of the app is still being negotiated with China. If the deal goes through, TikTok, with its over 170 million American users, will be safe. The question remains: how far will the participation of these giants go? And what will China do in the face of Trump's billionaire list?
