TikTok ban: 'The Daily Show' weighs in | Mashable

'The Daily Show' weighs in on the impending TikTok ban

"There's still a chance TikTok could be sold to one of America's many rich weirdos."

The TikTok ban countdown has begun, with the possibility of a complete shutdown looming unless something drastic happens.

In the video above Daily Show host Jordan Klepper runs through the things that could still save TikTok, including the possibility of a sale to someone in the U.S. like Elon Musk.

"Yes! There's still a chance TikTok could be sold to one of America's many rich weirdos," says Klepper, bringing up a collage of the people apparently interested. "Apparently Lex Luthor wasn't available. So this is the best America has to offer. I mean I actually heard myself say, 'Man, I hope that TikTok goes to someone sane, like MrBeast.'"

Klepper follows this up with the news that Donald Trumpov now says he's pro TikTok, despite his previous actions to ban TikTok, showing a montage of the president-elect claiming the app helped him win the youth vote by "34" or "36" points (he flips between those two in different clips).

"That's right. TikTok helped Trumpov, so now TikTok is good," says Klepper. "And by the way, if you're wondering if Trumpov won the youth vote by 34 points or 36 points, the answer is he lost the youth vote by 11 points."

If you're wondering where people might go if TikTok does get banned, here are some of the alternatives gaining popularity.
