TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew will be a guest of Donald Trump at his inauguration Monday as the popular app’s ban is set to go into effect, according to three people familiar with his plans.

As a last resort, the platform is preparing for a total shutdown Sunday, the day a U.S. ban is set to go into effect if the Supreme Court doesn’t overrule it.

TikTok has to cease operating in the US on January 19, a day before the inauguration, if its Chinese owner, ByteDance, doesn't sell the app.

TikTok CEO Shou Chew is expected to attend President Trump's inauguration, NBC News reports. Also expected to attend is Google CEO Sundar Pichai, according to a Trump transition official. The news of the guest additions comes days before TikTok's impending ban in the U.

Shou Chew will join tech moguls like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk at President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inauguration as the fate of the app hangs in the balance.

The chief executive of TikTok plans to attend U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing two people familiar with the plans.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is expected to attend President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration Monday. Chew has been invited to the inauguration, and if he accepts he will sit in a section of the Inauguration Day stage that is often reserved for former presidents, according to multiple news outlets.

Report of the TikTok CEO’s attendance at the inauguration comes as the Supreme Court appears prepared to uphold a law banning the platform or forcing its sale.

Shou Chew is planning the move as the company and the president-elect’s advisers consider options to delay or stop a ban of the popular video app.
