X owner and tech billionaire Elon Musk floated the idea of buying out MSNBC when the topic came up on social media.
A post from Musk about the topic comes as the left-wing media outlet has hit some tough times as ratings have plummeted after the election. Additionally, Comcast is looking to spin off the network to a different publicly traded company.
Donald Trump Jr. wrote on X in response to the spin-off of MSNBC, “Hey Elon Musk, I have the funniest idea ever!!!” as he shared a graphic that showed MNBC with a “for sale” sign attached. Musk replied to him on Friday, saying. “How much does it cost?”

Musk later said, “The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely,” when user Autism Capital posted about the possible purchase.
Many on the X platform replied to Musk, encouraging him to go through with the purchase. Several had the idea of having Musk buying the broadcast outlet and then handing control of it over to Alex Jones, as his outlet Infowars is being thrown around in bankruptcy court. The left-leaning satire site, The Onion, has tried purchase it in recent weeks.
Elon Musk should buy MSNBC and give it to Alex Jones.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe in particular has fallen off since Monday when Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski told their audience that they met with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in order to establish communications with him.
Musk asked a similar question in December 2017 when he said, “I love Twitter,” to which comedian Dave Smith said, “You should buy it then.”
At the time, Musk replied, “How much is it?”
Musk would later buy the social media platform in 2022 after the Babylon Bee got banned from the platform when the conservative satire outlet told a joke about how men cannot become women.
They’re all asking for ‘contrition’, now that the shoe’s on the other foot. Schumer, Pelosi, Nadler, Pencil Neck, Morning Joe, Iran, (funny they now want to make ‘nice-nice’ after they tried to kill him), etc. I say FUCK THEM ALL! If I EVER got w/i 100 feet of ANYONE known to be responsible for the last 4 years of insanity, there would be no conversation. BAM! DONE! No arrest(s), no courts, no incarceration(s) needed. DONE! ANY0NE from this current ILLEGITIMATE (shadow government) of an ‘Administration’ who’s responsible better watch their back(s), as I’m sure out of the 75 million people who voted for Trump, (twice), there are (at least) a few hundred thousand who would love just the chance to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights, blow these bastards/bitches away, and never give it a second thought. js.
The media wars continue. Senior Soros just pulled an end run around FCC regs, w WH help and approval, to purchase more than 200 radio stations to broadcast his “progressive” message to the Latin communities across the nation, as a non-profit, exempting him from many controlling govt regs to adhere to.
For Musk to pick up the MSNBC organization for “pennies on the dollar,” to broadcast a more balanced newscast, around actual facts instead of a Left-biased opinion-fest, he could turn that purchase into another profitable venture for his organization by eliminating “woke” from his new media airwaves. He could call this new purchase “Y”, leaving the door open to label his next major media purchase “Z”. Musk Media Enterprises: X, Y, and Z… as an active competitor to Soros’ progressive media PACs…
Musk could put some real meaning back into the Main in the Main Stream Media by broadcasting real news instead of Leftist “progressive” opinions! Go Musk! America First! MAGA!
It’s amazing how much trouble soros and his son create in OUR country. liberals want to destroy our country and create an environment of government dependency. That’s the final step to socialism in this country.
