Elon Musk’s meddling in U.S. politics has been a disaster for the country, and now he may be involved in reporting on political matters, with many journalists and Democrats sounding the alarm.
According to a new report from Semafor, the higher-ups at Paramount have discussed inviting bootleg Tony Stark into a group of investors who will be pumping money into the company.
Semafor’s Rohan Goswami report, which dropped on Wednesday, claims Musk is one of several wealthy individuals Paramount CEO David Ellison has considered talking to. Still, the size of the investment remains a mystery.
“But having Musk in this deal would also be politically fraught,” said Goswami, highlighting Democrats concerns with Musk inserting his “political influence,” money and control of X (formerly Twitter) into the 2024 presidential election.
“The possibility of him having even partial ownership in CNN and CBS would likely raise alarm bells in Washington, even though it is unlikely Musk would have formal input over the company’s operations,” Goswami continued.
Social Media Reacts To Elon Musk Potentially Being A Part of The Merger
Once the story hit, social media immediately pointed out how bad this could potentially be.
“Jesus f***ing christ the way capitalism can’t help but lead to a small number of psychotic individuals being involved in every aspect of society, one post on X read.
Another post on Elon’s crappy platform read, “Legitimately feel whoever runs for president in 28 needs to campaign on enforcing anti trust laws and breaking this shit up these freaks own way too much of our lives.”
Idk what’s dumber. The fact that people swore this merger wasn’t politically motivated, or the fact that our government let this pass knowing the Ellisons didn’t even have the money and were already in so much debt,” another post read.
We are truly in a nightmare scenario.
