[PJMEDIA] When Musk bought Twitter on April 14, 2022, we didn't realize it at the time, but it was one of the most consequential decisions of our lifetime.
Think I'm exaggerating? Consider this: Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
's greatest PR homerun during the presidential campaign was appearing on Joe Rogan's podcast. It had nearly 50 million views on YouTube alone — plus millions more on Spotify, viral moments on X, and more.
Appearing on those podcasts helped Trump win the White House.
But in the episode, Trump disputed the results of the 2020 election. Just four years ago, YouTube would've banned the episode for ''disinformation!'' It would've been stricken from existence — just like news stories about Hunter Biden's laptop!
Yet in 2024, deplatforming Joe Rogan wasn't even an option. Why? Because his buddy Elon Musk had his back. Sometimes, all it takes is one leader to buck the tide and stand strong. When it comes to free speech, Musk is that leader.
This quote says it all:
And now he has an opportunity to do something even more outrageous: MSNBC, the loony left's favorite news network, is for sale. Comcast, its parent company, is looking to unload the channel, which (not so coincidentally) also has the oldest median age in cable news: 71.
In the aftermath of a Donald Trump landslide victory, MSNBC's early returns are dreadful: Its viewership has plunged by 54%.
But how much is MSNBC actually worth?
I asked my all-knowing AI assistant (shout-out to ChatGPT) for a valuation. Here's what it said (after a whole bunch of boring stuff): ''With these factors in mind, a reasonable estimate for MSNBC alone could range from $2 billion to $5 billion.''
Which is pocket change for Elon Musk!
Could you imagine the trolling potential of a Musk-controlled MSNBC? Can you even imagine the liberal shrieks of terror when he swaps Rachel Maddow for Alex Jones?
For $2 to $5 billion, I think he'd do it.
And besides, Musk's Super News Broadcasting Company has a nice ring to it.
Do it, Elon! Buy MSNBC!
