ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order

Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk and Tesla: Influence of CEO's divisive behavior on company's challenges

The wealthiest individual globally freely voices his opinions, often sparking debate.

Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has attacked U.S. election integrity, embraced White-supremacist propaganda, and accused President Joe Biden of treason.

Experts suggest that Musk's conduct may deter potential customers, but larger issues impact his company. With growing competition in the electric vehicle market, his polarizing personality could lead to more significant long-term damage.

While Musk may be damaging Tesla’s image with some consumers, the primary focus remains on the product and its dependability. Many consumers do not base their purchasing decisions on the political views of the company's leader.
