(Reuters) - Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) said on Sunday it was informed by Bytedance that it would not be selling TikTok's U.S. operations to Microsoft.

"We are confident our proposal would have been good for TikTok’s users, while protecting national security interests," Microsoft said in a statement.

The United States must protect our security and interests from Communist China. Tik Tok will be shut down. It must be severed completely.
China needs to decide if they approve this or not. China will probably allow the partnership, but chinese technology core must stay with Bytedance. I think China will not allow Trump to steal the company that easy.
usa is more and more sosialist country but only for companys, people still live in kapitalism.
Trump thought he can stole chinese tech easily...China still have to approve. I think it will only be a partner with Oracle, and the core tech has to stay with Bytedance.
Look like it will not be sold...TikTok will be a partner with Oracle only.
Tiktok is not a business, its a tool used by the CCP to spy on foreigners. Thatd why tiktok doesnt care for profit because the CCP foots the bill. Just like Tencent and Huawei.
Do you have proof? Without proof, it is all he said she said...
Tiktok will not be sold bc of the yellow chicken alway primises the world but never delivers
Fleaking tiktok this danm rumor costs me alot if money and trump siad he ll ban in 9-15 let s see i think the yellow chick will do it
Bye bye US TikTok
You think the us will ban tiktok for sure on 9-15 please advise
yes. Trump does what he says he will do.
I think Trump has less than two months to play with his power. After that, I think China will tell him bye bye.
I told you guys, TikTok will not be sold.
Correct. it will be shut down
I think Chin rather shut it down then to allow Trump to steal their technology. The only way is they will allow partnership, but core tech stays with Bytedance.
