These companies are ready to buy TikTok

TikTok CEO resigns

Tiktok CEO Kevin Mayer resigned from his position last Thursday. Kevin Mayer recently took over as CEO of the Chinese video-sharing app Tik-Tok. Kevin Mayer said in an e-mail sent to employees that I want to tell you with all my heart that I have decided to leave the company. Let me tell you that Kevin Mayer stepped down as the top streaming executive of the Walt Disney Company and took over as Chief Executive Officer of Tik-Tok.

What was the reason

Mayer decided to leave the TikTok company at a time when US President Donald Trump is constantly threatening to ban Tiktok’s parent company. Explain that the Trump administration in one of its decisions had decided to stop the financial transactions of ByteDance Company within 45 days. In another order, the US President ordered ByteDance to disinvest its US operations in 90 days. These decisions of the Trump administration were given a legal challenge on behalf of Tik-tok. All these pulls are believed to be the reason behind Kevin Mayer’s leaving Tik-Tok.
