ByteDance must show that it is in talks to divest TikTok to be eligible for an extension.
ByteDance has refused to sell so far.
The political ramifications of a Trump rescue of TikTok should not be under estimated - 170 million America users, 7 million of them business owners whose livelihoods could be restored by a man they probably would've voted against. I'm sure Trump didn't plan this but his MO of causing chaos and then using his instincts to convert negative energy into political capital is quite amazing
>7 million of them business owners
It might be best for un-diversified businesses to fail.
