Beijing representatives have debunked rumors that it is considering selling the video-sharing platform TikTok to ‘Doge Father’ Elon Musk amid regulatory hurdles.

北京方面的代表駁斥了有關由於監管障礙而考慮將視頻共享平台 TikTok 出售給“總督”埃隆·馬斯克 (Elon Musk) 的傳言。

In a statement reported by the BBC, Chinese government officials insisted that they do not plan to hand over control of TikTok US to continue operations. The representative specifically branded the widespread rumor a “pure fiction.”

在 BBC 報導的聲明中，中國政府官員堅稱，他們不打算交出 TikTok US 的控制權以繼續運作。該代表特別將這一廣泛傳播的謠言稱為「純屬虛構」。

TikTok Not Pursuing Contingency Plans

TikTok 未制定應急計劃

For context, earlier, on Monday, Bloomberg reported that representatives of Beijing-based TikTok are evaluating the options required to keep the video-sharing platform running in the United States. One option, according to the report, is selling the widely used social media platform to Elon Musk.

就背景而言，週一早些時候，彭博社報道稱，總部位於北京的 TikTok 的代表正在評估保持該視訊共享平台在美國運行所需的選項。報道稱，一種選擇是將廣泛使用的社交媒體平台出售給 Elon Musk。

Musk—fondly called DogeFather because of his soft spot for the meme coin alpha Dogecoin—emerged as an option, owing to his affluence and social media flair, as seen in his X (formerly Twitter) purchase in April 2022.

馬斯克——由於他對模因幣阿爾法狗狗幣情有獨鍾，被親切地稱為“DogeFather”——由於他的富裕和社交媒體天賦，他成為了一個選擇，正如他在2022 年4月購買X（以前的Twitter）所看到的那樣。

Meanwhile, the Chinese government maintains that it does not plan to relinquish control of ByteDance’s US TikTok subsidiary to continue operations. However, it awaits a Supreme Court ruling on January 19 on whether it will uphold an earlier mandate for ByteDance to either sell off the platform or face a ban in the United States.

同時，中國政府堅稱不打算放棄對位元組跳動美國子公司 TikTok 的控制權以繼續運作。然而，它正在等待最高法院 1 月 19 日的裁決，以決定是否維持先前對位元組跳動出售該平台或在美國面臨禁令的授權。

Trump Wants to “Save” TikTok

川普想要「拯救」TikTok

The Bloomberg report alleged that the Chinese government considered Musk an option due to his bromance with incoming US President Donald Trump. The Tesla founder was pivotal in Trump’s reelection, sparking a massive upside for Dogecoin in November.

彭博社的報導稱，中國政府認為馬斯克是個選擇，因為他與即將上任的美國總統川普關係密切。這位特斯拉創始人在川普連任中發揮了關鍵作用，引發了狗狗幣在 11 月的大幅上漲。

A part of the disclosed proposal to Musk would entail running TikTok alongside ByteDance. The officials seek to entice the Tesla CEO, who openly kicked against the TikTok ban, with metrics that the video-sharing platform’s over 170 million users will boost X’s population stats and attract more advertisements.

向馬斯克披露的提議的一部分將包括與字節跳動一起運營 TikTok。官員試圖用影片共享平台超過 1.7 億用戶將提升 X 的人口統計數據並吸引更多廣告的指標來吸引公開反對 TikTok 禁令的特斯拉執行長。

Meanwhile, Musk’s right-hand man, Trump, has teased the idea of truncating the TikTok ban. The pro-Bitcoin president mentioned he wants to "save the platform, with reports stating he has made efforts to delay the Supreme Court’s January 19 decision till he assumes office.

與此同時，馬斯克的得力助手川普也提出了取消 TikTok 禁令的想法。這位支持比特幣的總統提到他想「拯救這個平台，有報導稱他已努力推遲最高法院 1 月 19 日的裁決，直到他上任為止。
