Who could buy TikTok?
  + stars: | 2024-04-25 | by ( Brian Fung | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Still, the company is under such close scrutiny that it would be a poor candidate to buy TikTok, experts say. If you were to tell me it’s Verizon, or AT&T, maybe it’s not as big of a problem.”Jasmine Enberg, principal analyst at Emarketer, highlighted a paradox: Only the largest, most dominant tech giants may have the resources to buy TikTok. Microsoft had been one of the handful of contenders to buy TikTok in 2020 when President Donald Trump first pushed for a sale. A former Trump Cabinet official enters the frayIn a move that caught many by surprise, former Trump Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced last month that he is putting together a team of investors to buy TikTok. As with Mnuchin, O’Leary has said a potential acquisition of TikTok may have to exclude TikTok’s algorithm.

A class-action lawsuit filed Tuesday alleges that the crypto platform FTX and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried violated Florida law, misled customers and cost investors billions of dollars in damages. Garrison says he lost money after the crypto exchange was forced to stop customers from withdrawing funds. The suit blames Bankman-Fried and the bevy of celebrities who promoted the company for the losses suffered by the investors. Also named in the lawsuit is Larry David, the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star who appeared in a Super Bowl commercial for FTX.

"You have to invest in information," O'Leary says. Spending an hour skimming through articles on your social media feed may sound easy. O'Leary avoids articles with "ridiculous and outrageous headlines" during his daily morning news hour, no matter how enticing they sound, he says. Google has a free fact-checking tool, where you can search keywords and verify if claims on social media or in blog posts are accurate. If you let the news and social media "bleed your time, you're going to become a very inefficient person," he adds.

When Mark Cuban was in his 20s, he wanted to get rich and retire by age 35. He succeeded at the first part: At age 32, Cuban sold his first company, a computer consulting business called MicroSolutions, for $6 million. "I'm not retired because I'm too competitive," Cuban said. O'Leary promptly retired at age 36, and ultimately regretted it. "If I'm 25 and I'm doing this again, I'm probably [thinking], 'OK, what can I do to get acquired?'"
Then, he landed his first job in tech as a PC software salesperson at a company called Your Business Software. But in an old blog post, which Cuban recently shared on Twitter, the billionaire revealed he almost didn't land the consequential role. The interviewers weren't impressed, Cuban wrote, until he answered one question: "What do you do if a customer has a question about a software package and you don't know the answer?" "Ding ding ding… [the interviewer] just loved the answer." Cuban didn't know it was a trick question, so he answered it honestly, stumbling into the correct answer.
