President Donald Trump said he is in favor of Elon Musk or Larry Ellison buying TikTok .

TikTok 's parent company is Chinese , and China would need to sign off on any such deal.

Experts say a joint venture might be a bad idea from a legal standpoint, but for Trump and any US companies that want a piece of the popular platform, there may be plenty of financial reasons in favor.

"I would not be surprised to see legal challenges over the next 75 days ," Carter said.

If challenged, the order is “highly likely” to be struck down because it goes outside the confines of the law.

The limited number of parties that could legally challenge a 50-50 venture could mean Trump has some wiggle room for his idea.
