Elon Musk Sparks Buzz with Photoshopped Pic of Trump Clan and RFK Jr. at MSNBC
In a surprising twist in the political arena, Elon Musk recently took to social media to share a hilariously manipulated image featuring himself, Donald Trump, Don Jr., and RFK Jr. all enjoying McDonald’s in the MSNBC studio. This playful post comes on the heels of Musk’s growing consideration of purchasing the network, following news that Comcast is looking to sell it.
On November 24, Musk posted the edited photo, which initially showed the quartet aboard a private jet, igniting a flurry of speculation. His cheeky commentary came just days after he mentioned, “Now MSNBC is going down,” hinting at his interest in acquiring the outlet after Don Jr. humorously encouraged him by stating, “I have the funniest idea ever!!!”
Musk’s engagement didn’t stop there; he quipped, “How much does it cost?” after catching wind of the sale news, with Don Jr. chiming in, “I mean it can’t be much. Look at the ratings.” His tweet was a clear nod to the ongoing discussions surrounding MSNBC’s future.
This playful banter caught the attention of many, including Joe Rogan, who jokingly expressed interest in taking over Rachel Maddow’s position if Musk were to make the deal happen. Musk’s response to Rogan’s proposition? A simple “Deal.”
The conversation has sparked significant interest, particularly within circles supportive of the incoming Trump administration. Don Jr. continued to fan the flames of intrigue by adding, “This is getting really interesting. It has to happen,” as he threw his hat into the ring, proposing to mimic Lawrence O’Donnell’s style—albeit with a tongue-in-cheek disclaimer.
Musk’s antics come after the internet was recently treated to the candid photo of these political figures indulging in fast food during their flight, which has been met with various reactions online. Many social media users couldn’t help but poke fun at RFK Jr.’s presence in the photo, with one user commenting on the significance of the moment, given his position as a health advocate.
As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Musk will indeed make a move for MSNBC, but one thing is for certain: the political landscape is staying lively, and the antics of Musk and the Trump family are keeping audiences captivated.
