Joe Rogan chimed in, writing on X, “If you buy MSNBC I would like Rachael Maddow’s job. I will wear the same outfit and glasses, and I will tell the same lies.”

Musk responded, “Deal.”

“This is getting really interesting. It has to happen,” Trump Jr. replied to Rogan’s post.

.@DonaldJTrumpJr & @elonmusk this could be so lucrative you might want to buy @CNN, too. I’ll sign up for an hour on-air. Give me Anderson Cooper’s slot or Joy Reid.

Comcast issued a news release on Wednesday where the company revealed it plans to spin off NBCUniversal’s cable television networks, including USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and Golf Channel. This is a part of the company’s “intent to create a new publicly traded company.”

However, as The Hill reported, “Comcast did not mention any indication it would be open to selling MSNBC.”
