Elon Musk’s bolder movement so far: Rumors of ABC acquisition arise and bring with him Tucker Carlson.
Disney never saw him come. And now, the American media order may not be the same again.
New York –There are corporate acquisitions and then war statements. What Elon Musk plans with ABC clearly falls in the second category.
According to confidential reports, the multimillionaire technological magnate prepares to present an offer by ABC – yes, the legendary television network owned by Disney – and does not come alone. It is said that Musk has nothing less than Tucker Carlson to assume the position of executive director. If confirmed, this decision would mark a radical change in US media, which Musk itself has described privately as its mission to “end the progressive agenda in one of the most emblematic broadcasting institutions of the United States.”
And that’s why the old guard is on a red alert.
Musk is not buying a network. You are buying a battlefield.
It is not a vain and peculiar project of a billionaire. For Elon Musk, this supposed purchase is deeply personal, deeply ideological and meticulously strategic.
After transforming the automotive industry, revolutionizing space technology and seizing Twitter (now x) to restore what he calls the “absolutism of freedom of expression”, Musk has put his sights on a new border: the media narratives that mold public opinion. And, for him, ABC, which was previously a reliable source for American families, is now only one more gear than he calls the “progressive propaganda machine.”
“ABC is supposed to be the voice of all Americans,” Musk told a confidant. «On the other hand, it has become the speaker of an elitist worldview that silence the dissent and mocks tradition. That is over now.
According to Fuentes, the plan is already underway. Musk, known for his quick movements and bold bets, is gathering a legal and financial team to formally approach Disney. Seriously speak. And the moment could not be more disturbing.
The wild card: Tucker Carlson as executive director
If Musk’s offer is the bomb, Tucker Carlson is the fuse.
Carlson’s abrupt departure in 2023, which was once the biggest Fox News star caused shock in conservative media. But it did not disappear. Instead, he built a digital empire from scratch, kneading millions of faithful spectators and immense political capital. Carlson’s brand is challenging, anti-woke and without complexes. And now, with the support of Musk, he is about to popularize in the most dangerous imaginable way, for the establishment, of course.
Carlson is already developing radical changes in ABC programming, focusing on “restoring journalistic courage” and “breaking collective thinking.” The goal? End the era of disinfected narratives and approved by corporations and replace it with raw, uncomfortable and fiercely independent journalism.
“People are tired of the media acting as a public relations agency for a political party,” said Carlson in a private message. “This will be different. Very different.”
Right -wing health, left -wing
Political tremors have already begun. In social networks, conservative voices have exploded in praise. “Elon has just done what anyone else had the courage to do,” a commentator tweeted. “This is the beginning of the end of progressive media.”
But, on the other hand, indignation is increasing. Activists have launched requests, celebrities call the boycott and media control agencies launch hard warnings. “It’s not about freedom of expression,” said a MSNBC collaborator. “It is about appropriating public trust and turning it into a speaker for the world of a billionaire.”
The professor of the University of Columbia, Elena Vásquez, went even further: «Giving Tucker Carlson the control of ABC is like giving a man a man in a library. It is reckless and dangerous ».
Within ABC: fear, uncertainty and shock
While the public speculates, it is reported that the environment within ABC is chaos and fear. Veteran presenters and producers do not know the future if the acquisition is successful. Rumors of mass layoffs, internal leaks and preventive sabotages have begun to circulate.
“This seems the beginning of the end,” said a senior official anonymously. “We do not know what the future holds, but we know that it does not resemble ABC that we have been building decades.”
There is talk that popular programs such asGood Morning America, Like This,The Viewand includedWorld News TonightThey could be restructured (or completely eliminated) to adapt to Carlson’s new vision of “telling US stories.”
Disney’s dilemma: will they be sold?
ABC is one of Disney’s crown jewels, but it has also become a headache. Among the fall of hearing, the negative reaction to cultural war and the growing competition of streaming platforms, Disney could be more willing to leave the cable of what people believe.
Musk, with a net worth of around 200 billion and an enthusiastic investor base, is more than capable of making an offer that Disney cannot ignore.
“If someone can do it, that’s Elon,” said Media Analyst Jonathan Fields. «It has money, motivation and impulse. And, frankly, ABC had not had so much impact on years ».
This is not just means. This is Musk’s America.
What is happening now is bigger than a simple purchase. It is who dominates the narrative. Who decides what is real, what is allowed and what is censored. And Elon Musk has made it clear: he does not trust the current guardians.
In five years, it has gone from building rockets to transform speech. Now points to the nucleus of the dominant influence: traditional television.
For its supporters, this is the beginning of an era free and bold. For his critics, it is a nightmare: power, media and ideology merger under a single man.
What is at stake could not be higher
We do not talk only about programming schedules or corporate disputes. We talk about the possible redefinition of whatsonThe news in the United States. If Musk goes out with his, ABC could become the first large chain completely reinvented under the ideological vision of a technological billionaire.
«This is not a wave. It’s a tsunami, ”said Media historian Mark Jensen. “If Elon does this, the whole industry will be forced to adapt or disappear.”
A nation contains breathing
For now, everything hangs from a thread. The negotiations are still behind closed doors. Disney is silent. But the message has arrived, and it is overwhelming: Elon Musk is on the prowl. And this time, not only tweet about change, but believes it.
Be attentive. Because if this happens, US media could not be the same again.
