Elon Musk has expressed interest in purchasing MSNBC following reports that Comcast intends to sell the network. Musk reportedly asked, "How much does it cost?" and added that "The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely." Donald Trump Jr. is also said to be considering involvement, having joined a venture capital firm backing Tucker Carlson's media ventures, and he hinted at the idea by tweeting, "Hey @elonmusk I have the funniest idea..." Speculation has arisen that the network could be rebranded as "MXNBC" or "X Channel" under new ownership. Observers note that this mirrors Musk's approach prior to his acquisition of Twitter, sparking widespread discussion about the potential purchase.
