Trump posts message for Gen Zers on TikTok: 'You owe me big' [View all]

President Donald Trump says TikTok users owe him "big."

In his first TikTok post since the 2024 election, Trump said that he "saved" the popular short-form video platform, though the deal has not yet been finalized.

To all of those young people of TikTok, I saved TikTok, so you owe me big," Trump said in a video filmed in the Oval Office. "And now, you're looking at me in the Oval Office, and someday one of you is going to be sitting right at this desk, and you're going to be doing a great job also."

Last week, Trump signed an executive order approving a US group of buyers for a deal valued at around $14 billion. Trump said Oracle and its CEO, Larry Ellison, will be part of the deal. Analysts had previously estimated that TikTok was worth significantly more. China and TikTok have yet to comment on where things stand.
