Popular YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, has announced his interest in purchasing TikTok in collaboration with a group of investors. The news comes as President Donald Trump extended the deadline for TikTok’s Chinese-based parent company ByteDance to divest its US operations within 75 days to avoid a permanent ban.
MrBeast initially sparked speculation last week with a post on X stating, “Okay fine, I’ll buy TikTok so it doesn’t get banned.” While the post was initially perceived as a joke, MrBeast confirmed his intentions to purchase TikTok in a video two days later.
“I just got out of a meeting with a bunch of billionaires. TikTok, we mean business,” he said in a video posted on the platform. “This is my lawyer right here, we have an offer ready for you, we want to buy the platform.”
MrBeast’s lawyer also confirmed to CNN that he is serious in preparing a bid alongside a group of investors. The investor group, led by Employer.com founder Jesse Tinsley, is made up of “institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals” who want the app to continue to operate in the US.
“Our offer represents a win-win solution that preserves this vital platform, while addressing legitimate national security concerns,” Tinsley said in a statement. The bid amount has not been disclosed, and it remains unclear if ByteDance is open to selling. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
