Comcast Corp. plans to spin off MSNBC into a new entity called "SpinCo," leading to staff concerns about potential changes, including name alterations, layoffs, and separation from NBC News resources. Donald Trump Jr. has proposed teaming up with Elon Musk to buy MSNBC. Musk responded by asking, "How much does it cost?" and stated, "The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely." This has fueled speculation about Musk's interest in acquiring the network and possible rebranding.
