00:00The legendary band Color Me Bad once wrote,
00:03A TikTok, you don't stop.
00:05But it seems like the prophecy will soon be undone.
00:09TikTok has a week to live in America.
00:12That is, unless they find an American buyer.
00:15Ah, but there is somebody who just threw his hat in the ring.
00:18I bet you're thinking about Mr. Beast.
00:20Yes, the YouTube superstar posted,
00:22Okay, fine, I'll buy TikTok so it doesn't get banned.
00:25Not quite sure he has the dough, but you know who might?
00:29Elon Musk is poised to take over this app
00:32if you believe Bloomberg's reporting.
00:34Chinese said they're not going to sell.
00:36Is it better for TikTok to lose the United States business
00:40than figure out some way of selling the United States business?
00:44Do you think so?
00:45I'd move to Canada.
00:46Hold on, really?
00:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48You'd make a great Mountie.
00:50Regardless.
00:51Most people's favorite app might just go away forever,
00:55and then what are people going to do?
00:57What are you going to do?
00:58You go talk to other humans.
00:59You know what's true?
01:00On Tuesday, you guys are going to forget and be just fine.
01:02No way.
01:03And if not, there's already a terrible backup plan in place.
01:07People are saying that we should all band together
01:11and go back to Myspace.
01:12Only one person saying that, and that's Tom.
01:14No, no, no.
01:16The OG.
01:17So, hurry up and buy TikTok, someone,
01:20because to put it in the cheesiest way possible,
01:23look at the clock.
01:24TikTok, TikTok.
01:27You put Color Me Bad to shame, boss.
01:30Hope you can save us all from oblivion, Mr. Beast.
