A big New York Times report dropped today alleging that the e-commerce giant Amazon put in a last-minute bid to purchase TikTok ahead of its latest ban extension ending on Saturday, April 5.

Amazon’s surprise bid comes amid a flurry of activity from other interested buyers, including Oracle, Andreessen Horowitz, Blackstone and even a consortium backed by social media influencers like MrBeast. Some appear to have a better shot than others.

In addition to Amazon’s offer, mobile technology company AppLovin has also submitted a bid for TikTok, further complicating the situation. The acquisition bids come at a time when TikTok has grown into a major e-commerce platform, with its TikTok Shop proving to be a lucrative addition to the app’s features.
