TikTok’s fate is still up in the air. The app that’s transformed mindless scrolling into a national security crisis is still stuck in limbo. We’re currently knee-deep in a 75-day extension granted by President Trump, giving TikTok a little more time to decide whether it’s staying or getting the boot. The catch? No one seems to know what’s actually happening – or if they do, they’re keeping it to themselves.

And in a move that’s not very surprising, Digiday reports that TikTok’s top brass have been jumping ship. Ole Obermann, the global head of music business development, is waltzing over to Apple Music in March. Adrienne Lahens, the global head of content strategy, announced her departure on LinkedIn, teasing “new opportunities and ventures.”

Meanwhile, CEO Shou Zi Chew is dropping not-so-subtle hints about impending layoffs, suggesting that “leaders will have to remove unnecessary layers.” Translation: Polish up those résumés, folks because changes are coming.

Remember when TikTok vanished from U.S. app stores in January? Despite an executive order on January 20th pushing the ban deadline to April 5th, Apple and Google played hard to get, keeping the app in digital purgatory. It wasn’t until February 13th, after a reassuring love letter from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, that TikTok made its triumphant return to app stores.

That’s right, Dems – and all of you teenagers out there – Trump and the REPUBLICANS are the ones trying to save TikTok. In fact, VP Vance is in charge of brokering a deal with a U.S.-based entity before the deadline – if there is one to be made.

As we inch closer to the April 5th deadline, TikTok’s fate in the U.S. remains as clear as mud. Will they sell? Sell to who? Or will they be banned? Or maybe Trump will give them another extension.

TikTok’s future is about as stable as a viral internet trend. With execs bailing, layoffs looming, and legal drama unfolding, the app’s fate could change with the next news cycle. Maybe Elon and his DOGE brigade should sniff this one out.
