Trump's September 25, 2025 executive order determined that a proposed U.S.-based TikTok joint venture would qualify as a divestiture once implementation agreements were executed, with ByteDance and affiliates below 20%, joint-venture control of algorithms, code, and content moderation, American-cloud data storage, and a 120-day federal enforcement pause.
Trump approved a conditional TikTok U.S. divestiture framework
Back to resultsTIME reported that the planned TikTok investor group included Larry Ellison and other Trump allies or backers, raising concern about political influence over a platform used for news; Trump said he would prefer TikTok to be entirely MAGA if he could but also said every group and philosophy would be treated fairly. Final investor details were still unsettled when the order was signed.
