Celebrities, influencers, and business leaders reacted to the shutdown of TikTok in the US as the popular video-sharing app went dark for 170 million US users on Saturday. Among those who shared their thoughts were Elon Musk, Mark Cuban, James Charles, and Alix Earle. TikTok star Lizzo, with over 25 million followers, expressed her grief on Instagram. Internet personality James Charles, with over 40 million followers, called the move “dystopian” and shared his reaction on Instagram. The shutdown came after a monthslong legal battle over a ban-or-divest law passed by Congress. TikTok had challenged the law, but the Supreme Court ruled against the company.
In response to the situation, Elon Musk criticized the imbalance in allowing TikTok to operate in the US while blocking other platforms in China. Mark Cuban expressed interest in how many users would move to other platforms like Bluesky. The cast of “Saturday Night Live” also addressed the TikTok shutdown in a recent episode, adding humor to the situation. President Trump announced a postponement of the ban and TikTok is now working to restore service to its US users. The social media app has seen a surge in users, attracting investors and valued at $700 million. Business figures and internet personalities continue to monitor the situation and adapt to the changing landscape of social media platforms.
