Social Elon Trolls Buying MSNBC

[USA!USA!]

i unironically hope he does. the best thing we can hope for in the system we have is that he keeps buying companies for exorbitant prices and tanking their value, losing his money rapidly.

Not to kiss his ass because I find him to be a very strange and weird man and do not look up to him, but.. in all honesty.. I think he has enough money to fail many times and not even feel it.

I heard he wants to copyright the alphabet and charge people to use it.
lol, Onion level satire.
I also heard he has enough money to clone Lee Harvey Oswald, so he can tell us exactly what the fuck really went on.

you could be right, at least on tiny shit like twitter. i don't even know what the price tag would be on MSNBC but i don't expect much, considering its cable news and not even particularly popular.

The country magically went to shit under Biden. On top of the shit pile that Biden created is that we are on the brink of ww3. We will be lucky to get out of his presidency alive and well.

I'm gonna guess that you think Ukraine, the country being invaded, should fight with kid gloves while Russia publicly allows allies like NK to help.

Keep living in a fantasy world that Musk could go broke. In a few years he'll be the world's first trillionaire at this rate.

He'd buy MSNBC as a gag, for what him would be pocket change.

Muh god, wipe your mouth when your done.

He’s mentally ill, he called me a satanist for saying that he’s deranged for thinking that Russia is invading Ukraine to protect it from the West.

How many more media outlets does Elon need to buy for y’all to quit whining about MSM being too “leftist”?

Fox, Newsmax,and Twitter are all overwhelmingly feeding right wing slop. Most of the biggest podcasts are balls deep in MAGA. So what’s left?

Sorry to destroy your fapping fantasies of Musk going broke.

You should probably be asking why the value of so many media outlets are falling off a cliff to make it a great value for Musk to buy them.

Pathetically low viewership numbers.
Overpaying onscreen hosts.
Mismanagement.

And there's nothing preventing the good talent of those media outlets to start their own media group, seeking their own leftist audiences... whatever of them are willing to watch.

Could you answer my question? Without sealioning. Y’all complain about MSM a lot. If they have bad viewership numbers, why call them “mainstream” and whine about them “brainwashing” the masses?

Meh, he’s funny in all honesty. I just think your simping for him is a little weird.

 

[Helden]

Good, he should buy it, then burn it to the ground.

That tends to happen with anything he buys

Love how years gone by and the left always go for the Russia angle whatever is the subject

Have you forgotten that not too long ago, it was discovered that a bunch of very popular right wing "influencers" were caught getting paid for spreading Russia propoganda.

How is Tim Pool doing after his Russian funding was cut off?

They need to be negotiating a peace deal. They west is holding the poor Ukranian men hostage and forcing them to fight in a war they do not want to fight.

I'm telling you the questions you should be asking yourself and come up with your own answers.

Because you have a long history of asking right-wingers questions and not accepting the answers.

They were 'mainstream.'
Over the course of decades they had complete control over what the vast majority of the public heard and what they didn't hear through newspapers, cable news, and network news.
And with that control over the public they had control over the government by being able to swing the majority of elections for the House, Senate, and even the presidency.
And lets not forget state and local news that have a major influence over governor and mayor elections.

Now people have caught on through getting their news from alternative sources that the MSM isn't to inform the individual, but to deceive and manipulate the masses.

And maybe those new alternative news sources may lose credibility with people as well in time.
We shall see.

Meh, he’s funny in all honesty. I just think your simping for him is a little weird.

I'm not simping for Musk.
I'd like to think much of what we discuss in the WR is about reality.
And the idea that Musk will make poor investments and go broke is a fantasy.

Looking at his net worth has grown inside three weeks, and how MSNBC is losing money for NBC and isn't influential whatsoever I bet Musk could be the highest bidder for it with what would be considered pocketchange.


I'm reminded of Turner networks, who owned WCW back in the day who invested big money into it throughout the 90s in the hopes it'd drive WWF out of business, and it never made money. Viewership fell off and in 2000 Turner networks lost $30 million in a single year with it.
Turner Network sold WCW to WWF for $1 million because thats all they could get out of it. An overall disasterous investment.

Now MSNBC will probably be sold through a private auction, but its bleeding cash for now so it won't be sold for much.

I've not watched it, is it that scary?

 

[gatchaman]

It would have been awesome if Norm MacDonald lived long enough for Elon Musk to give him the Tonight Show or Late Night.
