TikTok's daily active users in the U.S. is also just about 5% of ByteDance's DAUs worldwide, said one of the sources.

So much drama in the US over this but it's apparently merely a money-losing afterthought for its owner.

Looks like they're saying it's running at a loss and is valued at $50b, so that Musk would end up buying it off their hands.

If they want Musks attention they should have valued it at $69b
