Kevin O'Leary, a Shark Tank investor,
00:02
announced on Monday that he is joining a bid to buy the
00:05
US operations of TikTok.
00:07
Isn't he for that reason I'm out guy?
00:11
No, no, I think that's the basketball,
00:15
So this guy is known as,
00:20
When people like don't go with these deals,
00:23
like they're turned down.
00:24
Oh, he is if he's rescuing TikTok,
00:27
he is Mr. Wonderful.
00:30
so over the weekend he visited Donald Trump at the Mar a
00:33
Lago to talk about his plan,
00:35
right? O'Leary's teaming up with Frank McCour,
00:37
former owner of the LA Dodgers,
00:39
to try and take control of TikTok's US business.
00:43
He said it's about protecting the privacy of 170 million American users
00:47
It's about empowering careers.
00:49
Small businesses and it's about building a platform that prioritizes people over
00:53
algorithms, AKA we want your data.
00:57
right? What else do we want?
00:58
that's that's what I see the dancing,
01:01
they want the they want the money and they want to control
01:06
what we view, the algorithm.
01:10
Right now they don't have control about what we see,
01:12
what we're exposed to.
01:13
My question is, does Mr.
01:16
Wonderful have enough cash to do it?
01:18
So TikTok is valued at about 20 to 100 billion,
01:23
Wonderful's net worth is rumored to be about 400 million.
01:27
Oh, he's a little short.
01:30
again, maybe he's trying to do like a whole group thing
01:32
again, the Frank McCour.
01:33
This is a baby shark.
01:36
Alright, well, maybe he might pull something off.
01:39
His net worth is only 400 million.
01:41
I thought he was a billionaire.
01:43
That's what they make it seem on Shark Tank.
01:45
Shit, now you're bringing up a good point.
01:47
I'm just saying 10 to 400.
01:51
But I'm praying it happens.
01:53
My algorithm is like so perfect right now and like the band
01:56
is supposed to happen on what?
02:00
The clock is tick tock.
