The discussion of a potential Musk bid for MSNBC is catching fire on his social media network, X (formerly Twitter), after a post by President-elect Donald J. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., suggesting Musk purchase the tanking network. “Hey [Elon Musk] I have the funniest idea ever!!!” he wrote on Friday, prompting Musk to respond: “How much does it cost?”

Following up on Donald Trump Jr.’s post, Musk responded to the announcement of Comcast’s sale of MSNBC, stating: “The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely,” suggesting he actually intends to consider a bid.

Musk should only buy it if he can make a profit from purchasing it.

-—— mulling-——

Verb To mull. To mull is to play like you are going to act while inducing near fatal heartburn in MSNBC staff

Russell Brand says he is claiming Rachel Maddow’s spot. The comments between djtjr, Musk, and others have gotten pretty hilarious.

I am old enough to remember when MSNBC did not exist. It should not exist, again. These Leftist losers need to suck up the loss.

NBC could practically pay him to take it off their hands—along with the likes of Madcow’s contract.

I would not buy it.

I don’t have any billions to burn.

That said winners who are rich can afford trophies.

The literal heads of Butch Madcow, Joyless Reid, and Reverend Al on a platter is quite a trophy.

May be he could keep Joe and Mika around spending a couple of hours a day praising their new Daddy.

I’d call that penance.

Is it worth buying? Can he turn it around?

If he does buy it, he should keep everyone including Maddow. Put her on at odd hours. Let her rant. Musk should attend tapings and just stand there and watch. Make her uncomfortable until she gives up and 'self-deports'.

I don’t get it.

She lied non stop bringing the tender to the edge of suicide nation wide.

She’s worth millions.

On election night she was finally certified an irrelevant loser.

…and this crying jag? Looks like she still trying to connect with the audience she’s been scamming to avoid taking the blame at her feet.

It’s not bizarre so much as typical no remorse, no regret, no accountability loathesome liberal behavior.

She’s as fake as the day is long.

Off camera, she’s good on the phone with her lawyers and says, how was that.

Believable, nice job they say.

Would Musk have to pay the obscene contracts of MSNBC top people? He would have to revamp the company from top to bottom. Looks like good money after bad. Musk may just be screwing with them. Maddow was reduce to tears already so Musk has had some fun.

Musk signals that buying MSNBC is so tempting that a holy man would give in to sin.

It's important to understand: Musk is buying SpinCo specifically to kill off MSNBC and then sell off CNBC and the rest.

Look at the charts -- Cable is imploding while Streaming and other (DVR time-shifting) is converting those leaving Cable. MSNBC in particular is 'aging-out', its demo looks a lot like FreeRepublic actually; unfortunately for Comcast, it is not a key demo for Cable advertising.

It's a brilliant "disruptor" move as he did with the FIB disinformation outlet formerly known as Twitter. This is why MadCow was crying, that carpet-bagger knows he can and will do it.

It's also a backhand to Gates -- do not forget that MSNBC was a Micros0ck M0ckingbird creation specifically created to spread government disinformation; Gates built the Seacaucus studios and installed his homo lieutenant Kinsella to run it.

Maybe Musk is just playing, trying to sucker someone like Soros or another communist billionaire to though their money down the toilet buying it and all the very high dollar low success “talent”.

A classic win-win. Either the lefties panic and sink a ton of throwing good money after bad, into the bottomless pit; or Elon buys it, turns it around and makes money.

And it will prosper beyond belief.

I’d actually watch it.

What a kick in the teeth for the left to see their stuff rejected and right flourishing in their place.

The explosive way:

Buy MSNBC and America’s voice (https://americasvoice.news/). Close the MSNBC offices and broadcast America’s voice as MSNBC.

The gradualist way:

Communists took over gradually. In reverse, buy MSNBC. Start by getting rid of the worst, putting in and rewarding moderation. Later, add some conservative content. Then change the mix to moderate and conservative. Add more conservative content. Finally, replace the moderates with conservatives. This way, you reprogram the existing viewers instead of sending them packing.

I loved his tweet when all he said was “How much is it?”. Like we would ask when buying a pair of shoes. It made me LOL.
