The TikTok drama has now reached absurd heights, as Walmart has reportedly thrown its hat into the ring as one of the potential buyers for the social media platform. April 5 had earlier been set as the deadline for the potential buy-in, but with the U.S. government still dangling between the 'Ban vs don't Ban' camp, the window has been extended for a further 75 days.

Hilarious fan reactions to potential TikTok buy-in by Walmart
For a long time, it had seemed the deadline would just pass us by without any further shenanigans being played out in the TikTok saga. Enter Walmart. The retail store behemoth could now join a long list of potential investors, which includes Amazon, MrBeast, Perplexity AI, and OnlyFans. The list keeps getting longer every day.
The news spread like wildfire on the internet as fans rushed in to give their two cents on the potential buy-in. Nothing has been confirmed yet from official sources, yet that didn't stop fans from hurtling questions like confetti at Walmart as netizens collectively lost their marbles at the thought of the potential buy-in:
"Can’t wait for the ‘slay at aisle 5’ dance challenge", joked one fan (via X / @waigerHQ)
"They’re about to pay creators in ramen noodles", quipped another (via X / @buffys)
Why’s Walmart doing this? How’ll it work? Will they add coupons to the app?- These were just some of the questions on the netizens' minds even as they came up with ridiculously absurd theories of their own making about the functioning of TikTok.
While the news sent fans into a frenzy, some others weren't entirely pleased with the idea of the buy-in:
"Oh boy the TikTok shop is already forced enough", noted fan hilariously noted (via X / @Rush_Eazy)
"F*** NOO SO A BUNCH OF HILLBILLY REDNECK BUSTED A** 2002 FORD DIESEL DRIVING MFS WILL BE ALL OVER MY TIMELINE WE GOOODDD", ranted another fan (via X / @MikeH1099)
Another fan hilariously pointed out that security was going to be an issue:
"Walmart gonna get that s*** stolen from em if they buy it, worse security ever mfs get robbed for million of dollars Every year by the lowest iq humans"
The idea of Walmart bidding for TikTok is something out of the ordinary, the two entities couldn't be any more different even if they tried. As netizens mulled over the idea of the potential merger, others poked fun at the absurdity of the situation:
"I mean why not! You can get practically anything from Walmart. Might as well add Tiktok", joked one fan (via X / @downlowfarming)
"We got AmazonTok, 𝕏Tok, MicroTok, and now WalTok?", quipped another (via X / @SpaceflightGuy)
The news of Walmart reportedly bidding for the social media platform sent shockwaves around the internet and sent the fans into a frenzy. Will it happen? We are no Nostradamus, but we welcome the idea of the merger, just for the chaos it would bring about on our timelines. As the bidding war continues with the extension of the deadline, one thing is clear: TikTok's fate is still up in the air.
But hey, at least we have memes to keep us entertained while we wait for the next chapter in this saga.
