Elon Musk torments MSNBC amid speculation he’ll buy troubled left-wing network

Elon Musk is tormenting MSNBC with a series of wicked posts to X amid speculation that the troubled left-wing cable network could be sold after it was announced that NBC parent Comcast was spinning it off.

Last week, NBCUniversal Chairman Mark Lazarus paid a visit to 30 Rock in New York City to address the staff that rumors that MSNBC was no longer going to be included under the NBC umbrella were true and that it would be included with other cable networks spun off into a new entity called SpinCo.

With employees of the network which could also soon be rebranded reportedly in a state of “panic,” the buzz has been building that Comcast will eventually offload its tarnished asset rather than put up with the hatemongering network and its problem children like highly compensated lesbian conspiracy queen Rachel Maddow.

Following up on a Friday post in which he responded to Donald Trump Jr. who suggested that he buy MSNBC by asking “How much does it cost?,” Musk continued his trolling of the network with a post of a priest praying to not be tempted to do the naughty thing.

Musk’s meme isn’t going to put a damper on the buzz that he could do to MSNBC as he did to Twitter when he bought the censorship-ridden platform and cleaned it up, returning free speech to Americans in a time of goverment-led clampdown pushed by the Biden regime.

The ribald post drew a response from X users who would like nothing better than to see Musk acquire MSNBC and embark on a similar housecleaning like he did at Twitter before rebranding it as X.

In another meme, Musk twisted the knife into the network’s star attraction with a post showing Maddow slowly morphing into billionaire “Shark Tank” personality Mark Cuban, who he previously mocked for his uncanny resemblance to the $20 million propagandist.

Belt-tightening at MSNBC reportedly led to Maddow being forced to take a $5 million pay cut, it would be interesting to see how she would adapt to working for Musk if he ends up being her boss. He could conceivably trot her out wearing clown makeup to read the real news for comic relief as a part of a much more serious relaunched network.

“Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA) today announced its intent to create a new publicly traded company comprised of a strong portfolio of NBCUniversal’s cable television networks, including USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, E!, SYFY, and Golf Channel along with complementary digital assets including Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow, and Sports Engine, through a tax-free spin-off. The well-capitalized independent company (“SpinCo”) will have significant scale as a pure-play set of assets anchored by leading news, sports, and entertainment content,” Comcast said in a press release.

Bravo, NBC News, NBC Sports, Peacock, and Telemundo will remain under the NBCUniversal umbrella.
