By Admin In an announcement that shook the entertainment world, Elon Musk , the billionaire CEO of Tesla and X (formerly known as Twitter), revealed that he has acquired the television show The V ews* for a staggering $900 million .
The mogul said the decision was driven by his desire to “end the toxic show” and, in his words, “liberate” host Whoopi Goldberg, who has been a central figure on the controversial talk show.
Elon Musk, known for his bold and disruptive acquisitions, surprised the public with this move in the media arena. During a conference at X Spaces, Musk said:
The show, which has been on the air for decades, is known for its intense and often controversial discussions among its panelists, touching on topics ranging from politics to pop culture.
While no specific details have been revealed about the future of The V ews*, Musk hinted at a total reinvention of the show. According to sources close to the show, it could become a more balanced and less confrontational space, or even be replaced by a completely different new format.
The news sparked an avalanche of comments on platforms like X and Instagram. Some applaud Musk’s decision, considering it a necessary step to reform traditional media. Others, however, criticize the purchase, calling it an attempt to control the media discourse.
Among the most notable comments:
- “Finally someone puts a stop to this circus.”
- “Another Elon whim? He’d rather invest in solving real problems.”
This move marks a precedent in the entertainment industry, showing how billionaires are extending their influence beyond technology and business to control of the media.
Will this be the beginning of a new era for television, or just another chapter in the controversies surrounding Elon Musk?
