January 14, Fineko/abc.az. Chinese officials are considering the matter of sale of the TikTok division in the U.S. to billionaire Elon Musk if the company cannot avoid the ban, ABC.AZ informs, referring to Bloomberg.

At that, agency's interlocutors note that the priority scenario is for TikTok to remain owned by ByteDance.

The U.S. Supreme Court is currently deciding whether to uphold a law requiring ByteDance to cease TikTok operations in the U.S. by January 19.

Senior officials are already discussing actions in case the priority is not implemented. As an option, billionaire Elon Musk, who is also a supporter of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, is offering the sale of TikTok's American assets.
