Amazon.com has put in a last-minute offer to buy short-form video app TikTok, New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter. Trump is slated to meet with top White House officials Wednesday to discuss TikTok's fate. People familiar with the talks have outlined a potential deal that could involve bringing on a number of new U.S. investors, including Oracle, the technology giant, and Blackstone, the private equity firm, while sidestepping a formal sale. But it isn't clear that such a structure would satisfy the conditions of the federal law, as per the report. Amazon has some existing ties to TikTok. TikTok video app, which counts 170 million users in the United States, has become a major hub of retail shopping, with influencers recommending products to viewers. While the company has its own e-commerce operation known as TikTok Shop, many influencers encourage people to buy products on Amazon, which gives the influencers a cut of the transactions. It has also provided some technical infrastructure, NYT News Service reported. Amazon had previously tried to make a TikTok clone of sorts, called Inspire, inside its own app. Internally, it was a high-profile initiative, but was widely seen as unsuccessful at attracting shoppers. The company removed it from the app this year, as per the report. Amazon isn't the first retailer to express interest in the app. In 2020, when TikTok was first pressured to sell to U.S. owners, Microsoft and Walmart made a bid for the company.

American political satire, and the latest meme making rounds on social media is proof of that. The internet recently has found its newest obsession, an AI-generated video of Vice President JD Vance meticulously applying Cheeto dust to President Donald Trump’s face, as if he were his personal makeup artist.
