It started with Trump Jr., President-elect Trump’s oldest son, sharing a meme about MSNBC being up for sale. Trump Jr. reposted the meme Friday on the social platform X, which Musk owns, and said “Hey @elonmusk I have the funniest idea ever!!!”
“How much does it cost,” Musk replied.
Musk later responded to the viral interaction, saying the sale would be “the most entertaining outcome” while suggesting it would be “ironic.”
The exchange occurred just two days after Comcast, one of the largest media conglomerates in the nation, said it planned to spin off NBCUniversal assets, including USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and Golf Channel, to “create a new publicly traded company.”
Comcast did not offer any indication it would be open to selling MSNBC.
Musk’s exchange with Trump Jr. is similar to one he had with a social media user in 2017 after he was encouraged to purchase Twitter.
