Facing an impending TikTok ban in the U.S., Chew Shou Zi has sought advice from a man who has the ear of President elect Trump.

TikTok CEO Shou Chew has been reaching out to President-elect Trump confidante Elon Musk, who also owns X, in an effort to find out the new administration's tech policy plans.

As TikTok faces a ban in the United States if it does not divest from its China-based owner, the CEO of the popular social media platform has reportedly been messaging Elon Musk on topics ranging from President-elect Donald Trump’s second administration to potential tech policy it could implement.
