Curiouser and curiouser. A recap:
- On Friday morning, the Supreme Court ruled against TikTok.
- By Friday evening, we learned that TikTok may “go dark” on Sunday rather than risk prosecution.
- By Saturday morning, we learned that incoming President Trump may give ByteDance another 90 days to sell TikTok.
The chatter in recent days has speculated that Elon Musk may buy TikTok, or that Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta may buy TikTok. (Both men were slated to attend Trump’s inauguration, although that may have changed since the festivities have moved indoors.)
CNBC reports one more interested party—Perplexity AI:
“Perplexity AI officially made a play for TikTok on Saturday, submitting a bid to its parent company, ByteDance, to create a new merged entity combining Perplexity, TikTok U.S. and new capital partners, CNBC has learned.”
What’s next: Procter & Gamble?
