Scalise has 'great meeting' with Kevin O'Leary at White House

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said he had a “great meeting" with Kevin O’Leary on Tuesday at the White House.

“It’s a new era of AMERICAN business growth with President Trump back in the White House! Great meeting with @kevinolearytv this morning,” Scalise wrote on the social platform X, with a picture of the two in conversation.

O’Leary has wedged himself in between tech giants for a bid to acquire TikTok. The “Shark Tank” television star said he’s offered $20 billion in cash to buy the company, which faces a divest or ban order.

President Trump issued a 75-day extension on the directive, which would allow the Chinese parent company Byte Dance to continue operating the social media app while they consider ways to address the law banning the platform.

During a Tuesday announcement at the White House, the Republican leader said he would be open to Tesla CEO Elon Musk buying TikTok, according to pool reports.
