Perplexity AI Seeks to Join Forces with TikTok US: A Game-Changer in the Making?

The merger plans include collaborating with New Capital Partners while ensuring ByteDance investors retain their stakes.

With President-elect Trump possibly considering a 90-day deadline extension, the future of TikTok in the US remains uncertain.
