Elon Musk sparks speculation about buying MSNBC after Comcast announcement

rollingstone.com

Elon Musk has sparked speculation about potentially buying MSNBC after Comcast announced plans to separate the network into a new company. Right-wing figures on X, including Donald Trump Jr., have encouraged Musk to make the purchase. Musk has been active on X, posting nearly 300 times in one day, including a manipulated video of Rachel Maddow. This video gained significant attention, with over 5.5 million impressions, as Musk and others joked about reshaping MSNBC. Despite these discussions, Musk's current platform, X, is facing challenges. Many users have left for alternatives like Bluesky, and advertisers have pulled back due to concerns over content moderation and extremist material.
