“Honestly, our country will be in a better place once CNN is back on track,” Musk said in an interview with X (formerly Twitter). The comment quickly went viral, with fans applauding his self-appointed mission to rescue the news channel from what he termed “irrelevance and wokeness.”

The very idea of Musk, a man more famous for launching rockets and selling flamethrowers, suddenly diving into the media landscape might sound surreal—but surreal is Musk’s specialty. After all, this is the same person who bought Twitter (sorry, X), laid off half the staff, and then openly tweeted that it was “running better than ever.” A similar fate could await CNN, if Musk’s musings translate into action.

“I’ve fixed bigger messes,” Musk reportedly quipped when asked about CNN’s numerous controversies, which include allegations of biased reporting, political partisanship, and endless coverage of celebrity gossip. “Compared to landing a rocket on a floating platform in the middle of the ocean, turning CNN into something credible again will be a breeze.”
