TikTok ban looms, users flee to Chinese apps, Elon Musk acquisition rumored
As TikTok's future hangs in the balance with a potential U.S. ban looming, discussions are heating up about the possibility of Elon Musk acquiring its American operations.

As major platforms adapt to retain users, the outcome of these legal challenges will significantly shape the social media landscape, impacting millions of TikTok enthusiasts across the nation.
