Kevin OLearybest known as Mr. Theyve also taken to calling themselves the Peoples Bid for TikTok which, sure.

The group is also apparentlyvery open to other ownersjoining its bid.

A sign reads “Enforcement Zone Ahead” on a street in New York City where congestion pricing is enforced.

Not exactly inspiring stuff, but MrBeast isnt one to reinvent the wheel.
