Musk's next goal is to buy Douyin and TikTok? In fact, it's just a prank of netizens.

CTOnews.com, July 10 (Xinhua)-- Elon Musk (Elon Musk) bought Twitter for $44 billion last year, but Twitter doesn't seem to have changed for the better after the acquisition.

Last week, a sudden self-media post said that Musk announced that his next goal was to buy Douyin, including the Chinese version and the international version of TikTok, and to delete some background music and sound effects.

It has been verified that the above information is simply a prank by netizens, and Musk himself refuted the rumors on Twitter as early as 2022.

Last year, there was a netizen Pitu: Musk tweeted that "now I'm going to buy TikTok". Until now, there is no evidence that Musk made this statement, but there are still many marketing accounts claiming that Musk wants to buy TikTok. After all, these two nouns represent traffic overseas.

Of course, even if Musk wanted to buy the TikTok, he might not be able to buy it.

Douyin is currently valued at more than $400 billion, according to capital market information. If listed, the valuation could be between 3.7 trillion and 5 trillion yuan, while Musk's personal worth is about $200 billion.
