Over the years, Elon Musk’s name has been in the news frequently. There were rumors that the owner of X (formerly Twitter), Tesla, and SpaceX, who now tends to play a stronger part in the rapidly expanding field of artificial intelligence, had purchased the ABC television network.
This myth originated as a result of a widely shared Facebook meme. But as time went on, it became clear that there was insufficient solid data to back up this assertion.
One of the talk show hosts, Joy Behar, was included in the meme along with the claim that “Elon Musk issued a tender offer to buy ‘The View’ outright for $17 and a coupon for a free appetizer at Applebee’s.”
The image gained widespread attention in the media coupled with a report claiming that Musk had sacked every member of The View staff.
“In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk, the influential CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has made a bold move that has grabbed the attention of the entertainment world,” stated the piece, which was first posted on the Love Style Facebook page. After acquiring ABC, he didn’t take long to fire every member of the long-running chat show The View ensemble. Fans and detractors alike are in astonishment at this extraordinary choice that has rocked the business.
It went on: “Sources close to Musk claim that he took this audacious move as a result of his displeasure with the show’s cliched dialogue and lack of originality. “I’ve been watching ‘The View’ for years, and it feels like the same tired discussions over and over again,” Musk said in a statement expressing his disgust. I think it’s time for a new strategy for daytime talk programs because I’m sick of it.
It turns out that this was not a factual story. Musk did not buy ABC or dismiss the stars of the program.
But once word got out, many others took the story to be real and circulated it again. A few even left comments, one of them saying, “I really like this guy.” “The View” ought to have vanished long ago. Elon, thank you very much! “Another person said, “Roughly right now. The American viewer’s intellectual bar needed to be raised by someone.
