, just months after taking the job and after recent pressure by President Trump over the app’s security, Mayer sent a letter to TikTok and ByteDance employees on Wednesday night, announcing his decision.
Mayer’s exit comes just weeks after President Trump signed an executive order to ban TikTok unless its parent company ByteDance sold its U.S. assets to an American company within 90 days. Microsoft is in talks to buy the short-form video app, while other U.S. buyers who are reportedly interested include Twitter and software giant Oracle., Mayer was The Walt Disney Company’s chairman of the direct-to-consumer & international division.
