Mnuchin tells CNBC that he’s ‘putting together’ group to buy Tiktok

Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is putting together an investor group to buy TikTok, Mnuchin told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Thursday morning. “It’s a great business and I’m going to put together a group to buy TikTok.” Mnuchin’s statements come shortly after the House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill that would force ByteDance to divest TikTok or the social media site would face a ban in the U.S. Publicly traded companies in the social media space include Meta Platforms (META), Pinterest (PINS) and Snap (SNAP).
