Elon Musk Buys $1 Billion Stake in CNN's Parent Company Skydance
Elon Musk Acquires $1B Stake in CNN's Parent Company
Elon Musk has taken a $1 billion stake in Skydance, the parent company of CNN, according to reports. Coverage spans the political spectrum: conservative outlets frame it as Musk gaining leverage over a network they call troubled, while liberal outlets warn it hands him a larger platform to promote disinformation. Gizmodo notes the timing is awkward — Skydance-owned HBO is set to air Alex Gibney's documentary about Musk, a promise now facing its biggest test.
When the left-wing minions of CNN look up at the mega-bucks Lords of Skydance whose money keeps the troubled network's parent company afloat, Elon Musk will be looking back down.

Well, this will be a great improvement for America. We all need more centralization of media ownership by the oligarchs.
