Elon Musk Did Not Purchase CNN, Rumor Debunked

Claims of Elon Musk buying CNN originated from a satirical article and have been confirmed false by CNN and multiple fact-checkers.

CNN has officially denied any sale or change in ownership, stating the rumors are entirely false.
The claim was initially spread by Argentine President Javier Milei and amplified by social media and some news outlets.
The rumor traces back to a satirical article from SpaceXMania, which explicitly labels its content as parody.
Fact-checking organizations, including Lead Stories and USA TODAY, have confirmed there is no evidence supporting the claim.
Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN's parent company, has not announced any agreement involving Elon Musk.
