In a humorous exchange between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and podcaster Joe Rogan on the social media platform X, Rogan joked that if Musk buys MSNBC, he would start liking the channel’s host, Rachel Maddow, and wear a similar outfit and glasses to hers. Musk jokingly agreed with Rogan saying, “deal.”
On Saturday, Joe Rogan commented on a tweet by Musk, which read, “The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely,” regarding the idea of purchasing MSNBC.
“If you buy MSNBC, I would like Rachel Maddow’s job. I will wear the same outfit and glasses, and I will tell the same lies,” Rogan told Musk in the comment section.

The SpaceX founder then replied to Rogan’s comment with a laughing emoji and said, “deal.”
Earlier, Donald Trump Jr suggested Musk buy MSNBC, sharing a post about telecommunications company Comcast putting the channel up for sale on X. “Hey @elonmusk, I have the funniest idea ever!!!” Donald Trump Jr posted. “How much does it cost?” Musk replied. Trump’s son then responded, “I mean, it can’t be much. Look at the ratings.”

Comcast recently announced plans to spin off several cable networks, including MSNBC and E!, due to declining ratings. The company will create a new, publicly traded entity from several of its cable networks, such as MSNBC, E!, CNBC, USA, Oxygen, SYFY, and the Golf Channel. Comcast will focus on its remaining brands, including NBC and Bravo. “When you look at our assets, talented management team, and balance sheet strength, we are able to set these businesses up for future growth,” said Brian L Roberts, chairman and CEO of Comcast.
