Joe Rogan announces that he would be interested in taking over Rachel Maddow’s role if Elon Musk buys MSNBC

[Hawkeye10]

You are 100% right. It would be so crazy on so many levels.

It really is showing how out of touch the alt right is from reality.

Do you know what terms like "write down" and "default" mean? Keeping this all from destroying banks has been a challenge.

LOL. Let me know if Musk defaults, will you?

Bull Shit....the banks hold 13 billion, spread over several banks.....it is almost nothing to them.

 

[Walt]

there is almost certainly a deal that they will not sell the debt.

Why would they make a deal not to sell the debt? It defeats the whole purpose of packaging debt. What the banks do is package and sell the debt. Taking the selling away would be like requiring GM not to sell their cars.

Because they believe in Old America, and they trust Elon.

Hey Mr. Back to Reality, Musk is changing the fate of the world with his companies including X. What is money for if not to buy that?


This is huge BTW, there are a large group of (forgive me) simple minded elders who have been watching the likes of CNN and MSNBC for fifty years. They believe whatever the box tells them.

Gradually steer it to pro-MAGA (or libertarian) and that's 5 million votes easy.

Cable is for the old cracka goyim

Ask the 3 that have already been reported to have agreed to a joint sell-down letter, which supposedly expired lasts January 15.

Then loan him the money directly, don't package the debt. But banks do not have much money of their own to loan, so they would not be able to do that. Banks are desperately trying to get more money on their balance sheet, and that would be insane.

 

[ADreamOfLiberty]

The lender who paid for Musk's buyout would disagree with you. Their money is for making more money, and not for Musk's vanity projects.

I doubt anyone will loan Musk money on this. So he would have to sell control over companies that are changing the world, to buy bit players in a dying market... Again, he might do that, but no sane person would do that.

Wow, you completely lack any business sense.

Let's say Musk sells $50 billion in Tesla and/or SpaceX stock, buys these cable channels(CNN is not one of them)

CNN is already headed to the center.

and then tries to gradually steer them towards alt right positions.

Uh huh, the RINO war mongering deep staters are the "real right"

But you say there are about a million legacy viewers that will continue to watch MSNBC.

I said 5 million people. I didn't say that's how many watched every day, I said that is my estimate for how many take MSNBC seriously (so critical thinking levels of a five year old).

Let's say half a million. Gradually steering them towards alt right positions might get half of them there, but half of them will die(they are old), so a quarter of half a million, or about 125k.

It's certainly a short term investment, so I wouldn't pay too much if I were Musk, but he might not have to. It will basically be a game of chicken since Musk would be the only one with any money who wants this sinking boat. You know it's sinking for the reasons you just described.

Before it sinks it could help secure the midterms, 2028, and accelerate the culture war victory.

So that is buying votes at $4 million a vote. Maybe I am wrong on one number or another, but even if it is ten times cheaper, that is $400k a vote.

No one in this world is going to pay more than $5 per nightly viewer. Musk only needs to outbid competition, not a toothless bluff trying to get him to pay so much that he actually has to lose controlling shares in one of his main companies.

And remember, people tend to rebel against having their votes blatantly bought.

Oh the people who take MSNBC seriously at this point can't tell. Of that I am sure, otherwise they would have noticed it happening at some point in the last 20 years.

The idea of buying a moribund cable network doesn't seem like an attractive prospect to me.

Pretending that someone they dislike might want to do it does seem to have aroused the ire of the lefties, though.

Good times.
