X owner and Donald Trump ally Elon Musk has shown interest in potentially acquiring the left-leaning cable news channel MSNBC amid rumors that its parent company, Comcast, is considering a sale due to plummeting ratings.
On Wednesday, Comcast announced that it would spin off a number of its companies into a separate media holding comprising USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, and several other networks, which will be dubbed SpinCo. While the company portrayed the move as positive, saying the holding would be well-capitalized, “ideally positioned for success and highly attractive to investors,” media reports painted a different picture.
The New York Post reported, citing an MSNBC insider, that the network’s staff is in “panic because everything is up in the air” as executives are reportedly considering changing the network’s name, logo, and even its headquarters.
This week’s Nielsen ratings show MSNBC’s daily viewership having plummeted by 38% after Trump defeated Democrat Kamala Harris in the presidential election. CNN also lost viewers, with a drop of 27% compared to pre-election numbers, according to Nielsen.
Commenting on the rumors surrounding MSNBC, Donald Trump Jr. tagged Musk on X while posting a picture of the MSNBC logo and the inscription “For Sale, Best Offer,” saying he had just had “the funniest idea ever.” The tycoon responded by wondering: “How much does it cost?”
While it is unclear how much MSNBC’s assets are worth, the current market capitalization of the entire Comcast Corporation is $166 billion. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, has a net worth estimated at around $314 billion. In October 2022, he purchased Twitter, now known as X, for $44 billion.
Podcaster and Trump supporter Joe Rogan also weighed in, telling Musk that he would like to replace MSNBC anchor Rachael Maddow if he goes through with the acquisition. “I will wear the same outfit and glasses, and I will tell the same lies,” he jokingly promised, to which the billionaire replied: “Deal.”
Billionaire TV. He can keep the political bungs and put out whatever messages he wants and draw in ad revenues not pay for them. It won’t be so good. Any control we had over politicians is gone, his own news show a threat to them all, meaning he can passively own them, even the ones he’s never heard of.
Although I don’t join social media, at least before Musk owned Twitter I could follow some interesting people here and there, but now I can link to one message and that’s it. No other chat. That’s not freeing the comment it’s withholding it. A billionaire advance from paper media to visual media may be the start of real Big Brother with him on screen everywhere. He may pay for that at first but soon it may pay for them to show some of his content, especially now he’s got his own coffee mug at the White House.
With his own news show and whatever develops from that such as money programs etc, he won’t have to give away secrets to be the leader in the news field if he’s at the heart of government. People will watch his personal investments, not just to make money but to gain an insight into US geopolitics. If he moves a fortune into a market or out of one it may hint at US plans for a company, country or regime and so forth.
He should offer $1., if they throw in CNN. Call it the merger of the century.
It makes no difference if musk owns it or blackrock. They’re the same thing.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, Musk is a mischling Jew performer similar to Trump, his role is to appear as some sort of ‘anti-establishment rebel’ to dupe the right-wing/conservatard masses, yet all the while advancing the techno-Communist agenda.
Dumb ass retard.he couldn’t even shovel shit from one place to another.if he was such a genius ,he would have set up his own twitter, msnbc and bitcoin.the idiot is not an innovative technology wizard.spaceX is fakeX
Why buy the fake news when you can create true news if you want to?
The media is operating under a COG seizure of editorial policy enabled by DJTrumps EO13818 EO13848. All the media capitulated.
“…citing an MSNBC insider, that the network’s staff is in ‘panic because everything is up in the air’”… What those agents of treason and treachery should be in a panic about is platoons of patriots bursting through the doors brandishing machine guns, flame-throwers, battleaxes, garrotes and nooses, rampaging through and obliterating everyone in sight.
Get a load of the two compromised, corrupt buffoons in the photo at the top. Notice how they are both holding out fingers, symbolic of how they’re fingering the poop-chutes of Americunt imbeciles to pry them open again before another round of thorough ass-raping.
“Elon Musk, the richest man in the world”… Yeah. Sure.
