Elon Musk Wants to Buy a News Channel [ Parody ]
Elon Musk's Twitter page ^ | 6:39 PM · Jun 5, 2023 | Elon Musk

Posted on 06/06/2023 1:00:30 PM PDT by TBP

I’m planning to buy @CNN or @FoxNews

I’ll make it into a completely bipartisan news network.

That would certainly shake up the media landscape.

More people get their news from Twitter than the major networks these days, certainly for breaking news.

Honest to Almighty God, I don’t know which parody account is funnier: AOC’s, Elon’s or Harris’.

Whatever you think of his politics, you gotta love this guy. He’s got the “troll the media” act down perfectly.

Nobody wants to view a nonpartisan news network. NewsNation started that way and the results were shall we say less than a yawn. They started spicing things up with some partisanship. While ratings still aren’t anything to write home to mom about, they’ve improved.

I wish it were true, but this is an Elon Musk parody account as already mentioned in Post 3.

He’s got a taste of the power to be had owning a media company and having political candidates come crawling to you... and he likes it apparently.

That’s a shame, I thought Trump and a few friends should buy CNN

In my opinion Musk buying a major news outlet could be his FIRST BIG MISTAKE.

Cable news is on it's way out as far as appealing to the masses. Back in the day the networks averaged 15 to 21 million viewers per newscast. That was when U.S population was at best 250 million. Today if someone like Tucker Carlson, who pulled 3 to 4 million viewers, he was considered "hot" in terms of maximum viewers.

As someone else has already stated, you'd probably get more followers/viewers via Twitter and other existing social media as opposed to cable which is fading.

If he could do it it would even outdo his taking over of twitter. But which bunch of lefties will sell to him?

He won’t do this because he already has a new way of doing things in the works.
