Could TikTok be moving to South Dakota?

A Wyoming billionaire’s bid to buy TikTok has the backing of South Dakota’s political and business leaders as a potential relocation of the social media company's headquarters to the Mount Rushmore State gains traction.

"We believe in safeguarding digital freedom. South Dakota was a key catalyst in the movement to protect Americans from being spied on by the Chinese Communist Party, so we are a fitting landing spot for a new and improved TikTok,” said Gov. Larry Rhoden, in a statement released Wednesday by Rasner Media, a media company led by Wyoming entrepreneur Reid Rasner, a businessman from Casper.
