> Google will buy Tiktok

And immediately change its name to Google Fun Videos, changing it to Google DanceParty™ six months later

I think you mean Google Tok Messenger, their 900th iteration of a messaging service

Lol

Does Google have enough money to buy tiktok?
> - Google will buy Tiktok

If we're talking about a deal that would include ByteDance's business in the west, like the deal Trump wanted to happen, then I doubt current regulators would let Google be the one buying just because of its market share in the digital ads business.

And there's absolutely no way Google would be able to buy ByteDance itself.
