I don't know why you think he couldn't. A legally binding statement of intent to offer TikTok the 90-day window and work out a "deal" once in office would be more than sufficient justification for the heads of the various companies involved to ease enforcement until things become more resolved.

Would not be legally binding. The President cannot unilaterally bind the U.S., and he is free to make and break statements of intent.
