Steven Mnuchin Says He Is Putting Together a Group to Buy TikTok

Steven Mnuchin is putting together a consortium to try to buy TikTok, the Former Treasury Secretary said.

“I think the legislation should pass and I think it should be sold,” Mnuchin said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Thursday. “It’s a great business and I’m going to put together a group to buy TikTok.”

Mnuchin’s comments come two days after the House voted overwhelmingly to approve a bill that would ban the popular app from operating in the U.S. or force its Chinese owner ByteDance to sell.

What concerns might you have about a Chinese company owning a widely used social media app like TikTok?

The Chinese government is very unfriendly with us.

Tik Tok should not be influenced in any way by politics

The same government that is forcing a sale of TikTok would never allow a bunch of conservative business people to buy TikTok.
