Everything Elon Musk touches seems to turn to gold, much to the angst of those quick to criticize him because of his center-right views on issues like immigration and government efficiency.<\/p>\n

When Musk purchased what was then Twitter, a deal set into motion after Twitter suspended the satire site The Babylon Bee, Musk endeavored to create a digital town square for free speech, firing top executives and laying off half of the company\u2019s staff. Haters predicted impending doom, but Musk recently noted that X has more traffic today than ever before, having become the source for news for so many.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, rumors are swirling that Paramount is in talks with Musk to join a massive media merger, following the settlement of an antitrust lawsuit filed by California that\u2019s expected to clear the way for its merger deal with Warner Bros. Discovery \u2014 landing Musk as a key investor would essentially drop CNN and CBS right into his lap.<\/p>\n

Such a reality is seen as a hilarious, if not a fitting, outcome:<\/p>\n

\"\ud83d\udd25\" LMAO! The CEO of Paramount is reportedly considering asking ELON MUSK to get involved in the merger with Paramount-Warner Bros \u2014 which would mean CNN AND CBS fall under that umbrella<\/p>\n

The most entertaining outcome \"\ud83d\ude02\"<\/p>\n

Elon would technically have OWNERSHIP INTEREST in CNN,\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/WB3OZn2NWb<\/a><\/p>\n

If Musk could do for CNN what he did for X, America may be the ultimate winner \u2014 even if a few liberal heads explode.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:<\/p>\n

\n

Turn CNN into X News. After all, they have no viewers worth keeping \u2014 might as well go full streaming, 100%.
\nThey would actually get more screen time as X exclusive.<\/p>\n

This would be absolutely hilarious.<\/p>\n

Paramount is taking over Warner Bros. Discovery, which means CNN is headed under new leadership with the Ellison family.<\/p>\n

Now they\u2019ve reportedly talked to Elon Musk about coming in as an investor.<\/p>\n

Think about that for a second.<\/p>\n

\"\ud83d\udea8\" OHH BOY! \"\ud83d\udd25\"<\/p>\n

Paramount is reportedly considering asking Elon Musk to join a group of equity investors as it moves forward with its massive Warner Bros. Discovery deal.<\/p>\n

Think about that for a second.<\/p>\n

ELON MUSK COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME A PARTIAL OWNER OF PARAMOUNT, WHICH WOULD\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/8vd1U3UKde<\/a><\/p>\n

I would love this. Then Musk could effectively conduct surveillance on all of the communications between \u201cjournalists\u201d and deep state operatives.<\/p>\n
