Billionaire Elon Musk has shocked the world once again by making a drastic and unexpected decision! After being publicly insulted by Alec Baldwin during a broadcast of The View , Musk reacted in a way no one expected: he spent $790 million to buy ABC and immediately ordered the cancellation of the talk show!
What happened?
During a heated discussion on The View , Alec Baldwin slammed Musk , calling him a “scumbag” and questioning his business decisions and controversial statements on Twitter/X. The comment generated a lot of buzz, but no one could have imagined that Musk’s response would be so extreme and definitive!
A few hours after the broadcast, information leaked that Musk was already negotiating the purchase of ABC, the company responsible for producing The View . In less than 24 hours , the rumors were confirmed: the tycoon closed a billion-dollar deal and took control of the network!
The Decision to Cancel The View
As soon as he took over as ABC’s CEO, Musk wasted no time in making his first big decision: canceling The View for good ! The news came as a surprise to the show’s crew, hosts, and even loyal viewers of the talk show.
In a tongue-in-cheek Twitter/X post, Musk stated:
“If you call me a scoundrel, then you don’t need my money to stay on the air anymore. Goodbye, The View !”
