Elon Musk Eyes Potential MSNBC Purchase

⏺ Following Comcast’s decision to spin off MSNBC into a standalone company, speculation arose about a possible sale. Donald Trump Jr. suggested a bold idea: Musk should buy MSNBC.

⏺ Musk, the world’s richest man, responded, "How much is it?" and later added, "The funniest and most ironic outcome is often the most likely."

⏺ Media outlets have noted MSNBC’s declining ratings, with the network’s flagship show, Morning Joe, experiencing a sharp drop in viewership this week. This came after its hosts, who previously labeled Donald Trump a fascist, admitted to meeting him post-election to "reconnect."

⏺ In 2017, Musk was similarly encouraged to purchase Twitter. After responding, "How much is it?" he eventually acquired it in 2022, rebranding the platform as X.
