First Twitter, now MSNBC? Melon Musk must be stopped. But how???

Another ominous news report about Musk's and Trump's efforts to consolidate power and control the media:

From CNN today:

Elon Musk has called MSNBC “the utter scum of the Earth.” He has said the channel “peddles puerile propaganda.” Just a few days ago he said, “MSNBC is going down.” And now he is posting memes about buying the channel.

Conventional wisdom holds that Musk — the world’s richest man and key Donald Trump ally — and his friends are just joking. But Musk’s posts are adding to the anxiety that MSNBC staffers are feeling about the reelection of Donald Trump and the recently announced spinoff of Comcast’s cable channels.

I spent Sunday on the phone with sources to gauge what might be going on. I learned that more than one benevolent billionaire with liberal bonafides has already reached out to acquaintances at MSNBC to express interest in buying the cable channel. The inbound interest was reassuring, one of the sources said, since it showed that oppositional figures like Musk (who famously bought Twitter to blow it up) would not be the only potential suitors.

1. The whole country is for sale. To an extent it always was. But, no oh f-ck!

Everything that POS doesn't like, he will buy.

10. I'm starting to think that there should be an anti-trust law for individuals like there are for corporations. No one

should be allowed to be the richest person on Earth.

How that would work, I have no idea. Maybe set a wealth cap of $500 million. Anything over that must be distributed to social programs. Of course, they would just find a way to hide their wealth.

2. Where western civilization has taken us..

All for sale to the highest bidder.

Nothing else matters.

3. I wish

that Elon, (Ketamine addict) would go back to his own country and stop bothering ours!!!

State run propaganda needs to be stopped.

4. We skipped end stage capitalism and went straight to fascism.

7. We have been in end stage capitalism since Reagan.

We didn't quite understand this fact until now.

5. MSNBC is a dumpster fire. Let him overpay for it and drive it into the ground.

It's his money to part with.

8. He will use US taxpayer dollars.

He now has keys to the US Treasury.

6. Let's hope that progressives purchase MSNBC

and take it to new heights once the NBC shackles are removed because we need a strong counter to the maga nazis.

11. NBC is screwing them

If MSNBC can break free under progressive ownership the Truth will be on full display.
