Perplexity AI is negotiating a merger with TikTok US. The company has significantly raised its market value and proposes a partnership that could address several issues.

Perplexity AI and TikTok Merger

Perplexity AI startup has proposed to merge with TikTok's US division by submitting a proposal to ByteDance, the owner of TikTok. The merger plans to create a new major company involving other financial backers. It is known that the deal's value could exceed $50 billion.

TikTok's Future in the US

The future of TikTok in the US is uncertain due to the lack of support from the Biden administration. President-elect Donald Trump, taking office shortly, stated he would 'most likely' grant TikTok an additional 90 days to find a solution, which could include Perplexity AI's offer as a possible option.

Political Influence and Security

US authorities are concerned about security due to TikTok's Chinese origins. Congress mandated ByteDance to either sell TikTok or face a complete ban. However, ByteDance insists on the app's independence from the Chinese government.

The merger of Perplexity AI and TikTok US could solve issues related to security and regulation, keeping the app accessible to users in the US.
