The U.S. Supreme Court has begun hearings on a law requiring Chinese company ByteDance to sell its popular TikTok platform due to national security threats.
Chinese officials, according to people with knowledge of the situation, are evaluating a potential option that would see Elon Musk acquire TikTok's U.S. operations if the company fails to "fight back" against a controversial ban on the short video app.
