MrBeast, the popular YouTube star and the internet’s highest-earning content creator, is holding discussions with several groups that are interested in buying TikTok before a possible ban, according to a spokesperson.

MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, hasn’t committed to any one effort, but is speaking with multiple parties in hopes of attaching himself to a winning bid. One of the groups is a collection of American investors announced Tuesday that was assembled by tech entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley, the founder of Employer.com.
