Could Elon Musk Actually Buy MSNBC?
“How much does it cost?”
Since the election, MSNBC’s ratings have been falling dramatically with no signs of reversing. Their audience feels like they got played, especially now that Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have opened communications with Donald Trump.
There are rumors swirling in media that Comcast may sell off MSNBC, so naturally people are starting to wonder if Elon Musk could buy the network. People are not asking if Musk should buy it, because obviously, he should.
From the Telegraph, via Yahoo News:
‘How much does it cost?’ Elon Musk hints he could buy Left-wing MSNBC
Elon Musk has hinted he could buy MSNBC, the Left-leaning TV network, in a move which could see a dramatic realignment of the political news landscape.
The billionaire tech entrepreneur, who has railed against the “Left-wing” media, floated the idea in a post on his own social media network, X, jokingly asking how much it would cost.
Quoting a post from an account which claimed the network had been put up for sale by Comcast, because “lying non-stop to your audience is a lousy business model,” Donald Trump Jr tagged the mogul and wrote: “Hey Elon Musk I have the funniest idea ever!!!”
In response Mr Musk wrote: “How much does it cost?”. In a follow-up post he added: “The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely” with a laughing crying face emoji.
Mr Musk’s purchase of Twitter – which he rebranded as X – saw the landscape of the social media platform transformed.

This would be the funniest thing ever. If you thought the left was angry when Musk bought Twitter, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Joe Rogan says he would like to have Rachel Maddow’s job if Elon Musk buys MSNBC.
Rogan says he will wear the same outfit, glasses and will tell the same lies.
The comment came in response to Musk flirting with the idea of buying the far-left media outlet. pic.twitter.com/cNNT73YA2g

Just imagining the media spontaneously combusting if Elon Musk were to buy MSNBC.

In terms of what’s happening at MSNBC, Bill O’Reilly recently spoke to Chris Cuomo on News Nation and talked a little inside baseball. Say what you will about O’Reilly, but he does know the broadcast news business. This sounds completely credible:
HOLY SMOKES: Bill O'Reilly reveals Comcast wants to throw MSNBC “overboard” because their hateful rhetoric is tanking NBC's views.
“They're not putting anything into MSNBC. They want to sell it… You can get MSNBC for nothing.”

O’Reilly is bombastic at times but has been in the business for decades and his read on this is spot on. Hate sells but for a very small segment that is nowhere near enough to support those hags on The View or the $30 Million Ricki Maddow is getting. The money is just not there,
I hope he does. Although Musk is a billionaire, he’ s not greedy like some billionaires.
When Kamala asked Oprah, “Will you help me?” Oprah said, “Sure, for a million bucks.”
When Trump asked Musk to help, he said, “Sure. I’ll help for as long as I’m needed.” Trump said, “How much will it cost?” And Musk said, “I’ll do it for free.”
I bet MSNBC employees are shitting bricks right now. The smart ones are looking for other jobs, with no success. They are now very damaged goods. Who would want them?
I am retired from most business now, but I I was hiring and saw MSNBC on their resume, they would not even get an interview.
Karma is coming for them.
Maybe Kamala is coming TO them.
X-MSNBC
I like the sound of that!
That is funny and apt.
XBC
o watch the left heads explode
LOL LOL LOL
I’m not sure there’s even an Applebee’s that would be interested in hiring Mendacious Maddow to greet&seat customers.
Buy it and hold the clowns to their contracts. Force them to tell the truth and praise conservatism.
Watch their heads explode and pray for mercy and death.
Bwaaahahahahaha
msndc will have to find a new name. NBC cut the cord and they can’t use nbc in their name and can’t use any nbc news resources in their shows. Musk if he were to buy it should find the next Roger Ailes to run it and program it. Give Rogan 3 hrs to do his podcast as a simulcast. Find younger conservative voices shows. Maybe merge it with OAN. Lots of possibilities.
They can learn to code or put their application in @ Applebee’s or Starbuck’s.
Are you sure they’re qualified?
.
I am sure they are not qualified.
Maddcow at Applebees
LOL LOL LOL
I know that we are not supposed to take pleasure in the pain of others…but…the agonies of the MSNBC performers contemplating their futures under Musk fill my heart with joy.

Musk buying MSNBC would be an early Christmas present for the sane in the country. The wrapping paper and bow should be flashy and splashy.
.
If he does buy it, he could make it into a TV version of “X” and not be “Fair and balanced” but guarantee freedom of speech. Call a spade a spade and be prepared to call out lies from either side. Instead of permanent anchors, have guest anchors but hold them to the highest standards. Allow no propaganda and make every person on the network toe the line on truth.
Would it cost more if Maddow wasn’t part of the package?
