Elon Musk is now just 7/1 to buy TikTok with bookies offering odds on him moving into more social media business
Businessman Elon Musk is now 7/1 to buy social media platform TikTok with bookmakers offering odds on whether there will be a potential takeover of the service in the next few months.
Earlier this year the Biden administration was pushing to ban TikTok with Biden saying that they wanted TikTok's Chinese owners to sell the app or else the ban would go through.
TikTok themselves have said that they will spend $1.2b in making three data centres to store European data locally and this may be the start of better data regulations for the company.
Bookies though are still offering odds on the company's sale with this specific market suggesting a 7/1 chance of Elon Musk buying the company after his purchase of Twitter last year.
| Will Elon Musk buy TikTok? | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| No | 1/20 | 95.2% |
What the expert says..
Odds also given for any American company to buy TikTok with bookies giving a 33% chance that someone does
If the Biden administration gets there way and TikTok were to sell to an American company, it looks likely that states across the country won't look to ban the app like some are already doing now.
The latest betting odds suggest that there's a 33% chance that an American company buys TikTok in the near future with the odds just 2/1 that the Chinese company sells to Americans.
The odds though are still as short as 2/7 that they don't sell to an American company with those betting odds saying that there's a 77% chance that it stays under the Chinese ownership.

TikTok specials also include who the most followed account will be on the platform once again
Betting has regularly been available for who the most followed TikTok account will be by the end of 2023 and Khaby Lame has always been at the top of the market.
Lame is currently above Charli D'Amelio in the most followed list and that shows no sign for changing with his followers continue to rise month-by-month.
The latest betting odds now make Lame the 4/5 favourite to stay at the top of TikTok by the end of this year and it looks hard for him to be topped.
| Most followed TikTok account by end of 2023 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| @khaby.lame | 4/5 | 55.6% |
| @charlidamelio | 11/10 | 47.6% |
| @zachking | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| @mrbeast | 12/1 | 7.7% |
