According to reports, Elon Musk, the billionaire businessman who owns Tesla and X (previously Twitter), has reached a $3 billion deal to buy CNN, marking his most recent attempt to revolutionize conventional media.
Musk, who is well-known for his strong opinions on free speech and journalism, declared the agreement on X and promised to “fix the media one network at a time.” Musk said,
“The media has put sensationalism ahead of the facts for far too long. Under my direction, CNN will prioritize truthfulness, honesty, and impartial reporting. Biased narratives are no longer relevant.
The purchase has rocked the media landscape, with critics doubting Musk’s intentions and fans applauding his dedication to openness.
Since Musk has a history of utilizing X to express his own beliefs and concerns, critics contend that his ownership might jeopardize the network’s impartiality.
