I just got out of a meeting with a bunch of billionaires.
TikTok, we mean business.
This is my lawyer right here.
We have an offer ready for you.
We want to buy the platform.
America deserves TikTok.
Give me a seat at the table.
Let me save this platform, TikTok.
Ladies and gentlemen, and what started out as a joke is seemingly becoming reality, as it apparently seems.
Mr.
Beast is actually working together with a bunch of billionaires and they're going to buy a TikTok.
Now, Beast himself put out this tweet on January 13.
He said, OK, fine, I'll buy TikTok so it doesn't get banned.
Right.
Came across as kind of a joke.
Nobody really expected anything more than that.
And then January 14th, he says, unironically, I've had so many billionaires reach out to me since I tweeted this.
Let's see if we can pull this off.
Now, this is bad news for me because I've been pretty critical of Beast over the past few months.
So I'm going to be one of the first few to get banned permanently from TikTok.
So RIP, y'all.
But yeah, Mr.
Beast apparently put this video out and a bunch of people are reposting it.
Like Fear Buck, Mr.
Beast announces that after meeting with several billionaires, he has officially made an offer to buy TikTok.
And here it is.
I just got out of a meeting with a bunch of billionaires.
TikTok, we mean business.
This is my lawyer right here.
We have an offer ready for you.
We want to buy the platform.
America deserves TikTok.
Give me a seat at the table.
Let me save this platform, TikTok.
He has right here, how we buy TikTok.
Same monotone face you see in every video.
Today, we got a thousand billionaires in a room to buy TikTok.
Man, I don't know.
I'm a bit critical of Beast, but I also like TikTok.
It's funny to me.
My algorithm is perfected.
I can go from seeing freaking funny animal videos to weird video game tutorial videos to freaking selfie range shaking her caboose, right?
It's a win win for everybody.
We're all winning over on TikTok.
But the main issue is, I guess it's like privacy and China owns the app and they're using the app to like spy on American citizens, right?
I'm not too tech savvy or all that.
I'm pretty sure Mudahar, some ordinary gamers, has made quite a few videos explaining like what the TikTok ban is about and why the United States is like so adamant on not working with them.
Now, for those out of the loop.
Yes, apparently the TikTok app is preparing to shut down on Sunday, the 19th of January 2025.
And it's essentially going to make it so that you can't download the app on the App Store, the Google Play Store.
If Chinese parent company ByteDance fails to divest the site.
Apparently, I'm also hearing ramblings that they're not going to allow you to use the app.
So some people are like, oh, well, I already have the app.
So like, who cares?
I'm just going to keep using it, blah, blah, blah.
I'll just use a VPN, blah, blah, blah.
It seems like they're going to know if you create an account in the United States or if you're using a device that is also registered in the United States.
Essentially, TikTok is going to completely defunct as an American United States, whatever, on the 19th, which kind of sucks.
Again, I've tailored my algorithm.
I'm sure many of you have, despite, you know, people not really liking TikTok and it kind of being a meme because like people are literally becoming millionaires and we're forming lolcows and some of the most strange characters have come from TikTok.
Also, some of the best music has come from TikTok.
Some of the best dances have come from TikTok, right?
Despite a lot of people not really liking TikTok or thinking it's kind of like a joke, silly platform, you know, it's kind of like the next trend, you know, one comes, one goes, one comes, one goes.
Kind of like musically, kind of like Vine.
You know, we've seen hundreds of apps, probably hundreds, dozens of apps come and go.
And honestly, if TikTok goes, I'm going to kind of miss it.
I'm sure some of you guys will, too, right?
And they've just implemented something like the TikTok shop, right?
So despite TikTok knowing like this ban was coming, they've still been implementing new features and like still letting the app run as normal.
But this ban is essentially, you know, the end all be all of TikTok.
And now with the ban of TikTok, the app Red Note.
Sure, you guys have had it or seen it by now.
Red Note is essentially a TikTok competitor, completely Chinese based, known as Zhang Xiao Hong Shu or Little Red Book.
And a bunch of Americans, a bunch of TikTok people are moving over.
They're migrating over to Red Note, right?
So the main issue that the United States had was that China was spying on people and having all these United States citizens informations.
So now United States, American citizens are directly migrating to a Chinese app that when you sign up for the website or the app, it's like ask you for all your info, right?
I can't even read Chinese, so I haven't made an account.
I'm probably not going to make an account.
But if you have or if you have the ability to look at the app, it asks for a lot of permissions before you can even get into the app.
And again, if people are scared of TikTok or the United States scared of TikTok, they've accidentally created a monster with Red Note here.
Now, Forbes actually made an article kind of going over like the terms and conditions of Red Note, because, yeah, a lot of people don't speak Chinese.
A lot of people don't speak Mandarin, right?
So similar to TikTok, Red Note does the exact same thing, right?
It collects a large amount of data, sensitive info such as your IP, browsing habits and more.
The terms and conditions are in Mandarin, so users are struggling to convert them.
And a lot of people aren't going to.
They're just going to click the checkbox, move right on.
People don't even read American terms of services.
We just click on red, scroll down red.
We're ready to play, right?
We probably sold our souls three times over at this point, millions of times over for every game, every little website we visited, right?
But again, similar to TikTok, Red Note is doing the exact same things, right?
We're basically signing up to allow China to have access to our data, our IP, our devices, anything and everything that TikTok already has access to.
And now apparently this guy, a.k.a.
Scratch, he says Red Note collects data not linked to you like contact info, your name, physical address, phone number.
So again, like stuff that you'll never really need to enter into any of these websites.
This app will have a way of extracting and getting from you.
So some real dangerous stuff.
Again, you're more than welcome to download this app and mess around and have a good time.
Get your algorithm back, you know, whatever you're going to miss from TikTok.
But just be very careful.
You are giving your information to China and a bunch of other different parties associated with this app.
So be careful.
And like, it's kind of crazy because like I literally have friends like coworkers and whatnot who downloaded Red Note.
And there I go. I did it for the memes.
I did it for the memes.
Like, brother, sister, you've still downloaded the app.
You still create an account.
You still use your personal emails and your usernames, and you've still given them access to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It is what it is. All right.
But that's just kind of expected.
When one app goes, people are going to create alternatives and people are going to move to set alternatives.
Some people can, you know, take talks gone.
They're just like, well, going back to my life, I'm going to Instagram reels.
I'm going to look at Facebook memes.
You know, I got plenty of minions memes to watch.
I won't miss TikTok.
But then you have others again who are going to go to apps like Red Note and end up giving China again more personal private information, which is exactly what the U.S. has made this big stink about.
And they ended up biting the holes in the butt for it.
We've also got some updates from your boy, Big Donald.
You know, the next president, he has won the election.
He will become the president very soon.
But apparently Trump is mulling the executive order to delay a TikTok ban.
Right. He's considering ways to prevent TikTok's potential ban, which could include issue an executive order, according to The Washington Post, as the Supreme Court appears ready to uphold the law, forcing the app sale or ban by January 19th.
So this TikTok situation is actually insane.
We have Mr.
Beast coming together to form the Avengers of Billionaires.
You know, he's friends with people like The Rock.
I'm pretty sure he's friends with people like Elon Musk, right?
He's the most successful YouTuber of all time.
He has a freaking game show with Amazon.
He probably has Jeff Bezos on speed dial.
Who knows? All right.
He's got this Avengers level threat of billionaires coming after TikTok.
We'll have to see if ByteDance is actually willing to sell it to Mr.
Beast, sell the algorithm, sell the code, sell all of this information.
And then we have Donald Trump.
Donald Trump might be shaking hands with Mr.
Beast, and if we thought he was canceled enough, oh, brother, I can already see that.
I can already see the YouTube drama sub when you see Mr.
Beast and Donald shaking hands.
Either way, like I said, I've already kind of given my thoughts on the TikTok ban.
It's understandable, I guess.
You know, the U.S., they're trying to protect people's privacy and safety.
And TikTok's just one to go, right?
But we'll see if it gets bought.
We'll see if it gets banned.
I want to know what you guys think down below.
Are you guys going to get banned if Jimbo, Jimmy, Jimmy Beast takes over TikTok? I probably will be.
I know a few others.
Your boy Quintio might get banned.
Pegasus might get banned.
If Jimmy takes over TikTok, we're all getting banned.
We're getting put on like a do not, a do not, I don't even know, some type of blacklist, some type of watch list, Jimmy watch list.
But I appreciate you guys watching. Peace out. Bye.
