Following reports that Comcast may put MSNBC up for sale, Elon Musk has expressed interest in purchasing the network. Musk asked, "How much does it cost?" and added, "The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely." Donald Trump Jr., who recently joined a venture capital firm backing Tucker Carlson's media ventures, also hinted at collaborating with Musk, posting, "Hey Elon Musk, I have the funniest idea."
