北京方面的代表驳斥了有关由于监管障碍而考虑将视频共享平台 TikTok 出售给“总督”埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 的传言。

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 报道的一份声明中，中国政府官员坚称，他们不打算交出 TikTok US 的控制权以继续运营。该代表特别将这一广泛传播的谣言称为“纯属虚构”。

TikTok Not Pursuing Contingency Plans

TikTok 未制定应急计划

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，周一早些时候，彭博社报道称，总部位于北京的 TikTok 的代表正在评估保持该视频共享平台在美国运行所需的选项。报道称，一种选择是将广泛使用的社交媒体平台出售给埃隆·马斯克(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.

马斯克——由于他对模因币阿尔法狗狗币情有独钟，被亲切地称为“DogeFather”——由于他的富裕和社交媒体天赋，他成为了一个选择，正如他在 2022 年 4 月购买 X（以前的 Twitter）所看到的那样。

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.

与此同时，中国政府坚称不打算放弃对字节跳动美国子公司 TikTok 的控制权以继续运营。然而，它正在等待最高法院 1 月 19 日的裁决，决定是否维持先前对字节跳动出售该平台或在美国面临禁令的授权。

Trump Wants to “Save” TikTok

特朗普想要“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.

彭博社的报道称，中国政府认为马斯克是一个选择，因为他与即将上任的美国总统唐纳德·特朗普关系密切。这位特斯拉创始人在特朗普连任中发挥了关键作用，引发了狗狗币在 11 月份的大幅上涨。

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.

向马斯克披露的提议的一部分将包括与字节跳动一起运营 TikTok。官员们试图用视频共享平台超过 1.7 亿用户将提升 X 的人口统计数据并吸引更多广告的指标来吸引公开反对 TikTok 禁令的特斯拉首席执行官。

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.

与此同时，马斯克的得力助手特朗普也提出了取消 TikTok 禁令的想法。这位支持比特币的总统提到他想“拯救这个平台，有报道称他已努力推迟最高法院 1 月 19 日的裁决，直到他上任为止。
