Elon Musk, MSNBC Acquisition Rumors and Social Media Strategy
Elon Musk hinted at a potential acquisition of MSNBC, sparking widespread speculation and a reaction from Rachel Maddow regarding a provocative image Musk posted. The discussion explores the feasibility of such a deal and the likelihood of Donald Trump merging True Social with X (formerly Twitter). Predictions suggest True Social may instead pivot toward a cryptocurrency-based payment platform to create an "everything app" ecosystem.

00:00 It doesn't taste like fish. This is my favorite. I have people trying to rationalize that to me. You don't know what you're talking about, Curry.
00:40 What do you not know what you're talking about? Elon Musk buying MSNBC. What about it? He's the one who hinted at it. We discussed it on the show. This is bull crap. This is not going to happen. That's what they said about Twitter. No, I don't think they said that. In fact, he didn't want to do the Twitter deal. The courts made him. Yeah, well, that was a little different. But if anything, I think he'll, I think No, he's not going to do anything. And another one is, oh yeah, Trump's going to merge True Social with Twitter. I don't think so. That's a good one. I don't think so. Now, I suspect that True Social may connect to some crypto company. That would make sense for payments online because that's where all of this is headed. It's all headed towards do your payments, do it all in one app.
01:41 Do everything here. Don't need anything else. I guess. Yeah, I know. I know. But seriously, you don't think that there's any chance that Elon Musk will buy MSNBC? Well, he did post something yesterday. Have you seen the post? It's got a girl bent over for anal sex. Oh, I saw Rachel Maddow crying about this image. Yeah. Continue, continue to explain. And then where her butt is, there's a big MSNBC logo. Oh my God. Elon posted this, by the way. Of course he did. And then he has some sort of a saint-like character in the front saying, Lord,
02:25 Lord keep me from you know some that I don't want to don't let me say me kind of a comment mm-hmm Delivery no deliver me from evil Wow, and it's the saint guy standing there with the thought bubble. Yeah, I recommend Elon go very careful with these things. He's unleashing powers he has no idea how they work. He's asking for help. Now there's a good point. He's crying for help. Crying for help. It's a cry for help. I think that's a good point. So maybe he doesn't, you know, he knows he's tempted because he's got the money.
03:05 This guy, I think it's $333 billion just to use the magic number in net worth and he could do it but he knows it's a bad idea. Why would you do that? I mean why? So he could fire everybody. He's gone off the deep end. That's pretty crazy. Yeah, well, you know what? It would make- Hello! And I said, yeah, no, I just said hello. Well, I don't know what I said, but I think it would make our life interesting. Oh, it'd be terrific. I'm all in on that. I'm encouraging this stuff. I have no problem with that. You know, I've identified something that's happening and this is a little unexpected, but Trump derangement syndrome
