Perplexity AI has reportedly submitted an 11th-hour bid to save TikTok in the US
Briefly

Perplexity AI's proposed merger with ByteDance aims to create a new entity that integrates TikTok US, providing a potential alternative to a forced sale.
The Supreme Court's ruling pressures ByteDance to divest from TikTok to avoid a ban, pushing them toward a merger approach suggested by Perplexity.
Despite the imminent deadline, TikTok insists it could shut down unless the Biden administration provides guarantees against enforcement of the ruling.
White House spokesperson characterized TikTok's claims of shutdown as a stunt, emphasizing that actions regarding TikTok will be the responsibility of the incoming administration.
