Isn't it starting to feel like no one actually wants to buy TikTok?

Seems to me a lot of companies FB, Google, MS all want it (either to compete or to kill it) but don't want to be in the middle of a political mess.

It's a radioactive carrot in politicsville, not sure if you get superpowers or just regular old cancer.

More like it isn't a proper auction, and gov't approval with potential strings attached is required for the acquisition to take place.

So Oracle changed their mind?
