Abu Dhabi AI investor MGX is taking a stake in social media app<\/strong> TikTok<\/strong>, alongside Oracle and private equity firm Silver Lake, as part of a transaction greenlit by US President Donald Trump that allows TikTok to continue to run in the US by trimming Chinese ownership, CNBC<\/a> and Reuters<\/a> report. US Vice President JD Vance said the transaction \u2014 which was approved through an executive order by Trump \u2014 values the company at USD 14 bn. The value of the transaction \u2014 which was announced through a White House statement<\/a> \u2014 was not disclosed. <\/p>\n

The three entities will together reportedly hold a 45% stake in the firm<\/strong>, giving each of them a 15% stake, while TikTok\u2019s Chinese owner ByteDance would retain a <20% stake to comply with a US law that would ban TikTok if it does not sell off its US assets. New investors would own the remaining shares.<\/span><\/p>\n

The three firms are also set to receive board seats as part of the transaction<\/strong>, Bloomberg<\/a> reports. Under the agreement, ByteDance would appoint one of seven board members for the new entity, while Americans will hold the remaining six seats, Reuters quotes a senior White House official as saying.<\/p>\n

The caveat: <\/strong>There has yet been no confirmation from ByteDance that the transaction is happening, or that it has amended laws that would require changes in order for it to take place, CNBC said. The agreement follows talks between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, out of which there were reports that the two sides had reached an agreement<\/a> on the future of TikTok\u2019s ownership. <\/p>\n

REMEMBER- The US and the UAE are emerging as key AI partners \u2014 and MGX is at the crux of the partnership. <\/strong>The AI investor \u2014 which is overseen by National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan \u2014 is planning to invest USD 8-10 bn<\/a> annually in AI infrastructure and companies, with a focus on the US market. Sheikh Tahnoon\u2019s visit to Washington in March had seen the UAE commit USD 1.4 tn in investments<\/a> in the US. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s already committed to several big US projects and transactions. <\/strong>The investment firm recently joined Silver Lake<\/a> in acquiring a majority stake in US firm Intel\u2019s programmable chip unit, Altera. It is also contributing to the initial USD 100 bn<\/a> phase of the Stargate AI infrastructure fund, a JV formed between OpenAI, SoftBank Group, Oracle, and MGX to invest in AI infrastructure, and is backing a USD 30 bn<\/a> AI infrastructure fund launched by BlackRock and Global Infrastructure Partners. It has a goal of reaching USD 100 bn in assets.<\/p>\n

The story is getting plenty of play in the foreign press:<\/strong> Guardian<\/a> | New York Times<\/a> | Wall Street Journal<\/a> | Washington Post<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
