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.”

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.

Fuel price hikes lead the US to attempt diluting gasoline with ethanol, showing a different reality from Brazil, which has been using a 30% blend at gas stations for years.

While complete hospitals can take years between foundation, construction, and inauguration, Turkey erected an emergency hospital with 1,008 beds in 45 days at the former Atatürk Airport to tackle the pandemic.
