Trump names tech and media giants in US TikTok takeover plan

US President Donald Trump said Sunday that prominent tech and media leaders including Oracle founder Larry Ellison, Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell and Fox Corp. executives Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch will join a consortium set to acquire TikTok’s US operations.

“You know, they’re very well-known people. And Larry Ellison is one of them. He’s involved. He’s a great guy. Michael Dell is involved. I hate to tell you this, but a man named Lachlan is involved,” Trump said on Fox News’ Sunday Briefing, adding that Rupert Murdoch “is probably going to be in the group.”
