Elon Musk shakes up television with daring acquisition and dismissal?

Elon Musk’s name has been in the news a lot over the years. He is the CEO of X (formerly Twitter), Tesla, and SpaceX, and he is now more involved in the rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence. Recently, there were rumors that he had bought the ABC TV network.

These rumors started from a Facebook meme that caught many people’s attention. However, it soon became clear that there was no solid evidence to back up this claim.

The meme featured a photo of Joy Behar, a host from the talk show *The View*, with a funny comment claiming that “Elon Musk offered to buy *The View* for $17 and a coupon for a free appetizer at Applebee’s.”

Surprisingly, some media outlets picked up the meme and reported that Musk had fired the entire crew of *The View*.

An article shared on a Facebook page called Love Style claimed, “In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has made a bold move that has caught the attention of the entertainment world. He has bought ABC and quickly fired the entire cast of the long-running talk show *The View*. This shocking decision has left fans and critics amazed.”

The article went on to say, “Sources close to Musk claim he made this bold move because he was unhappy with the show’s repetitive discussions and lack of new ideas. Musk reportedly expressed his frustration, saying, ‘I’ve been watching *The View* for years, and it feels like the same tired topics again and again. I’ve had enough, and I think it’s time for a fresh approach to daytime talk shows.’”

This story turned out not to be true. Musk neither purchased ABC nor he fired the show’s cast.

However, as the story spread, many people believed it and shared it. Some even left comments, like one person saying, “I really like this guy. *The View* should have ended a long time ago. Thank you, Elon!!” Another commenter added, “It’s about time. Someone needed to raise the intellectual standards of American viewers.”
