Will McDonald’s And CNN Be Bought By Elon Musk? Here’s The Whole Truth Behind This Story

If there is one thing Elon Musk knows how to do, besides electric cars and rockets, it’s fueling the internet’s imagination. Over the past few weeks, social media exploded with rumors that the South African billionaire was about to acquire nothing less than McDonald’s and CNN. One question was frequent: “Is Elon Musk going to buy CNN?” was widely searched on search engines.

But is there any truth to this story or is it just another one of the many wild theories circulating on the internet?

Musk And McDonald’s: A Fusion Of Fast Food And Technology?

It all started with a video that went viral at the end of October, claiming that Musk had announced: “I’m buying McDonald’s.” This rumor was fueled by an unusual context involving McDonald’s in the 2024 presidential elections in the U.S.

And What About CNN?

Another, even more ambitious rumor stated that Musk was negotiating to buy CNN for US$ 3 billion. The motivation? “Fixing the media” and confronting what many consider to be a pro-democratic company. This rumor gained traction, especially after Musk became one of the largest donors to Trump’s campaign.

However, again, the truth is not quite that. This story started from a satire account called Gridiron Glory, which made it clear that its posts should not be taken seriously. There is no promise that Musk is interested in acquiring CNN, and both the billionaire and the network have remained absolutely silent about this rumor.

The Truth Amid The Confusion

What really happened, and perhaps contributed to all this speculation, was Elon Musk’s appointment to the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the Trump administration. Yes, the acronym refers to Dogecoin — and the name is very much Musk.

The goal of DOGE, according to Trump, is to cut waste, bureaucracy, and excessive spending in the federal government. Alongside Musk, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy was also appointed. Regarding his new role, Musk joked: “Unlike you, none of us are being paid. So, it’s very efficient indeed.”

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

A view from space, an image made by NASA shows the impressive Richat Structure, a geological formation located in the Sahara Desert, also known as the “Eye of the Sahara.”

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

A parachutist crashed into the giant screen of the stadium and hung from the structure in front of thousands of people while carrying the flag of the United States during an exhibition flight.

With floating cranes and millimeter precision, Japan erected the cable-stayed bridge of Kesennuma over the bay after the 2011 tsunami, lifting steel modules weighing thousands of tons during tidal windows.

A 1953 Fusca that almost no one knows exists can be auctioned for R$ 570,000 in Brazil, and the reason it is worth so much money surprises even experienced collectors.

Social experiment leaves a bottle on the ground and reveals who ignores the trash and who picks it up right away, showing why clean cities live in more peace.
