Elon Musk Jokes About Buying MSNBC, Fuels Speculation and Debate

The billionaire's social media posts about acquiring the liberal news network have sparked reactions, though Comcast has not announced any sale.

Elon Musk posted memes and comments over the weekend suggesting he might buy MSNBC, sparking online discussions and reactions from prominent conservatives.
Comcast recently announced plans to spin off MSNBC and other cable channels into a separate company, but no sale has been confirmed or announced.
Musk's posts included a digitally altered video of Rachel Maddow crying, which was debunked as a fake and originally related to a different news story from 2018.
Some liberal-leaning billionaires have reportedly expressed interest in acquiring MSNBC, but tax and structural complexities make an immediate sale unlikely.
The speculation has drawn comparisons to global trends of 'media capture,' where powerful figures reshape media outlets to align with their political agendas.
