Elon Musk purchased Twitter in April 2022 and renamed it X after the acquisition before firing the CEO, Parag Agarwal, and Twitter’s Legal Chief, Vijaya Gadde, who was behind banning President Donald Trump’s account after the January 5th insurrection at Capitol Hill. However, in recent events, the idea of buying MSNBC has been floated by Elon Musk on X, and many celebrities, including Donald Trump Jr. and Joe Rogan, have jumped on the bandwagon.

It all started when Donald Trump Jr. retweeted a post citing that Comcast plans to put MSNBC up for sale after poor ratings. “Hey Elon Musk, I have the funniest idea ever!!!” he tweeted. Musk replied to the tweet similarly to how he acquired Twitter in 2022. “How much does it cost?” he wrote. In addition, Joe Rogan joined the bandwagon, jokingly saying that he’ll play the role of a famous liberal CNBC anchor.
