‘I’d rather have the app banned’: X-users react hilariously as tiktok denies rumors of Elon Musk buying the app, calling it “pure fiction.”

Once more, TikTok is in the news. But this time it's a twist. If TikTok's Chinese parent firm, ByteDance, doesn't sell off its US business by January 19, the Supreme Court is considering a regulation that may ban the app. Since millions of Americans use TikTok for entertainment and social connection, this law would have an impact on them.

There were speculations that Elon Musk probably going to buy TikTok. However, TikTok cleared the air of speculation. They said that they are unable to comment on anything that is fictional. In their words:

"We can’t be expected to comment on pure fiction."

From short clips of funny actions to viral video challenges, the contents are incredibly captivating in TikTok. Since its inception as a platform for daily entertainment, TikTok has accumulated a great number of fans. Its breakthrough features have also become very popular. Millions of users share, produce, and evaluate the content on such a wide scale taking on the role of trendsetters and social connectors. People from different cultures with different tastes can find what they like, be it the funniest moments or mind-blowing dance moves. TikTok stays intact as a major driver of digital culture, which is both a medium for viewers and a creator's platform.

As soon as the news came out that Elon Musk probably wouldn't buy TikTok, social media was flooded with fans' reactions. Let's walk through what some netizens commented regarding this news.

Another user (@alexissTyler) hilariously quipped:

"Let the church say amen"

So that's how fans responded, or maybe it's more true to say that they were relieved. It was greeted as the year's best news by some and as divine intervention by others. If Musk had taken over, many couldn't help but picture the mayhem, with odd name changes and odd modifications that no one requested. It's funny enough to imagine dance fads combined with rocket launches or algorithms powered by electric vehicles. Isn't it? What do you say?

Fortunately, TikTok remains loyal to its original purpose as a platform for viral dances, snack tricks, and oddball challenges. For the time being, at least, it has no plans to expand into other 'planets,' as the report says. It appears that social networking and space exploration may coexist together in their spheres.

Whether Elon Musk decides to pursue TikTok or lets it flourish in its dance-filled glory is a matter of time. Both appear happy for the time being in their respective worlds, one based on viral trends and the other aiming for Mars. Let's see what surprises lie ahead!
