Elon Musk has been popping up in the news a lot lately, especially now that Donald Trump is president again. Back in 2017, Elon said he wanted to buy Twitter. Most people thought he was just kidding around.
But in 2022, he actually bought it. He changed the name to X, which sounds pretty cool. The not-so-cool part? When he bought it, Twitter was worth $44 billion. Now, it’s only worth $9.4 billion. That’s a huge difference.
Elon sure knows how to keep things interesting
Elon Musk is at it again, making big announcements that have everyone talking. This time, he hinted that he might buy MSNBC, and people can’t stop wondering what that could mean.
Joe Rogan didn’t waste any time either, he’s already asking Musk for a job. It looks like everyone wants to be part of whatever Elon is planning.
What do you think will happen if Musk actually buys MSNBC?
Donald Trump Jr. saw a tweet saying that Comcast might sell MSNBC. He thought it was super funny and tagged Elon Musk, saying he had the best idea ever. It reminded him of something that happened in 2017.
Elon Musk didn’t wait long to reply. He just asked, “How much does it cost?” like he was ready to buy it. Later, Elon even tweeted something similar again, almost like he couldn’t stop thinking about it.
It’s kind of funny how they talked about it, like they were playing a big money game.
Hey @elonmusk I have the funniest idea ever!!! https://t.co/OEwz6S5ncs

Elon Musk shared another tweet about buying MSNBC, and Joe Rogan jumped into the conversation. He said he’d like to work there if Elon became the owner.
It might sound surprising, but Joe wasn’t just joking around. He seemed to have a real reason behind his comment. He’s always coming up with interesting ideas and plans.
How much does it cost?

Joe Rogan said he’d love to take Rachael Maddow’s job if Elon Musk bought MSNBC. He even joked that he’d dress up like her to make people laugh.
Rachael Maddow is really famous. She talks about news and politics on TV, and lots of people know her. She’s also the first openly lesbian person to host a big news show in the U.S. That’s why some people think Joe’s joke might have been a little mean.
He was trying to be funny, but not everyone thought it was nice.
If you buy MSNBC I would like Rachael Maddow’s job. I will wear the same outfit and glasses, and I will tell the same lies.

Donald Trump Jr. joined in and said he’d like to take over Lawrence O’Donnell’s job. Lawrence is another well-known political commentator on TV.
The whole discussion felt strange, almost like something out of a fictional story. It seemed like they were playfully imagining what it would be like to run these shows themselves.
