While Musk’s plans to buy ABC and fire David Muir are still in the rumor stage, there’s no denying that the prospect has captured the public’s imagination. Will Musk follow through on his threat to take control of the network, or is this just another case of the billionaire stirring the pot for attention?

Only time will tell, but if Musk’s track record is any indication, we can expect plenty of surprises along the way. After all, this is the man who turned Twitter/X upside down, revolutionized the auto industry, and put humans on the path to Mars. If anyone can turn ABC into the future of media, it’s probably Musk.

For now, though, ABC staffers, including David Muir, are left wondering whether they’ll be working for the world’s richest man in the near future—and what that might mean for the future of journalism.

NOTE: This is SATIRE, It’s Not True.
