Tesla CEO Elon Musk joked about how MSNBC would change if he bought it from Comcast.
Last week, Comcast announced it will spin off a large chunk of NBCUniversal cable channels, including MSNBC. Donald Trump Jr. began the rumors that Musk could buy the network Friday with a joke posted on X, which Musk owns.
“Hey @elonmusk I have the funniest idea ever!!!” Trump wrote in response to a post that said Comcast was looking to sell MSNBC.
“How much does it cost?” Musk replied.
“I mean it can’t be much. Look at the ratings,” Trump responded.
“The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely,” Musk wrote on the spiraling rumors. That’s when comedian Joe Rogan piped up.
“If you buy MSNBC I would like Rachael Maddow’s job,” Rogan said. “I will wear the same outfit and glasses, and I will tell the same lies.”
