Elon Musk hinted at the possibility of purchasing MSNBC, which faces plunging ratings and a network sell-off. The left-leaning network is panicking after Comcast announced it plans to spin off the channel into a separate publicly traded company, with the potential of changing its name. Musk responded to a post from Donald Trump Jr. suggesting he purchase the network. “Hey @elonmusk I have the funniest idea ever!!!” Trump Jr. wrote. “How much does it cost?” Musk asked.

The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely https://t.co/YX2EznXfoF — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 22, 2024 The Blaze reports: The reshuffling at Comcast led MSNBC to reportedly renegotiate a contract with “ratings Viagra” host Rachel Maddow and give her a pay cut of $5 million down from $30 million. Critics of Musk have accused him of influencing the election by allowing what they perceive as misinformation to flourish on Twitter, which he purchased and renamed X. While left-wing criticism led to an exodus of advertisers on the platform initially, Musk declared victory when many of them decided to return to the popular application. “Just want to say that we super appreciate major brands resuming advertising on our platform!” Musk replied. Bill O’Reilly said Comcast is “uncoupling” MSNBC from NBC News. He said it must throw MSNBC “overboard.” “They’re not putting anything into MSNBC. They want to sell it,” O’Reilly said. “You can get MSNBC for nothing,” he added. “They’ll give it to you. They don’t want any more of this. Why? Because it’s hateful. Not because it’s so far-left. The whole NBC Comcast hierarchy is far-left. But it’s hateful. They hate Trump. They hate people who vote for Trump. Everybody knows that,” he explained.

They want to sell it… You can get MSNBC for nothing.” The next show on the media chopping block is… pic.twitter.com/cwcP5iwJp2 — The Vigilant Fox (@VigilantFox) November 21, 2024 From the New York Post: MSNBC stars Rachel Maddow, Chris Jansing and Katy Tur joined a tense 10 a.m. meeting at 30 Rock in Midtown led by NBCUniversal chairman Mark Lazarus, who will lead the new company, sources told The Post. Staffers fearing looming layoffs peppered him with questions about whether the network will need to change its name, logos and headquarters after reports surfaced that the new entity could be cut off from the reporting muscle of NBC News, sources said. Lazarus told MSNBC staffers he wasn’t sure whether the network would have to change its identity or its home, according to insiders. “Everyone is in a panic because everything is up in the air,” one MSNBC source told The Post. Another insider close to the network added: “People don’t really know what’s going on. They had the election, holidays are coming up. People are tired and just trying to get through.” MSNBC declined to comment. Comcast announced Wednesday that MSNBC — home to anchors including Joy Reid and Lawrence O’Donnell — will join CNBC, Oxygen, E!, Syfy and the Golf Channel as part of a new company called SpinCo.

Matt Gaetz shocked MAGA country with his post on X stating he withdraws his nomination for Attorney General. He then confirmed he won’t seek reelection to Congress after 14 years in public office. Speaking with Charlie Kirk, he said he wanted to focus on family and support President Donald Trump in other ways. Gaetz hinted at future roles but not one that would involve getting elected. A political pundit perhaps? UPDATE – Gaetz: “I’m still gonna be in the fight, but it’s gonna be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress.”pic.twitter.com/NVAc8Wg2dh — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) November 22, 2024 NBC reports: WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said Friday that he doesn’t plan to rejoin Congress after he withdrew his name from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general amid sexual misconduct allegations. “I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress,” Gaetz said in an interview with conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. “There are a number of fantastic Floridians who stepped up to run for my seat, people who have inspired with their heroism, with their public service. And I’m actually excited to see Northwest Florida go to new heights and have great representation,” he added. Gaetz noted he has been in elected office for 14 years, having first been elected to Florida’s state House when he was 28 years old. “I’m 42 now, and I’ve got other goals in life that I’m eager to pursue — my wife and my family — and so I’m going to be fighting for President Trump,” he said. “I’m going to be doing whatever he asks of me, as I always have. But I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress.” Gaetz said it seems like “a pretty poetic time to allow that great new blood to come in, to allow my district to have high-quality representation.” He also alluded to playing a continued role in Trump’s plans, without getting into specifics. “We need a leadership structure under President Trump that’s going to allow for durability of our movement and the ability to continue this great realignment of our politics, and so I’ll play a part in that,” he said. “I plan to be a big voice, but maybe not as an elected member of the government.” Was this all President Trump’s plan to expose more of his enemies? Trump still playing 4D chess… He nominated Matt Gaetz with the plan to draw out the anti-Trump Republicans… which it did. Now, #Trump will nominate Ken Paxton for AG and Ron DeSantis will appoint #Gaetz to fill the Rubio seat which was the plan all along. pic.twitter.com/kgBMVnkz4s — Bill Navari (@BillNavari) November 21, 2024
