Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal
Saudi Arabian Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal’s investment company Kingdom Holding (KHC) would be interested in investing in ByteDance’s TikTok if Elon Musk or others offered to buy it, CEO Talal Ibrahim al-Maiman told Al Arabiya TV on Wednesday.

Al-Maiman, responding to a question by Saudi-owned Al Arabiya if KHC would be interested in TikTok in case Musk offered to buy it, said: “If Musk or others offered, we would have a desire to look into that investment, no doubt.”
