In a move that has shocked media insiders and sent Twitter into a frenzy, Elon Musk is reportedly considering buying ABC, with one clear mission: to “set things straight.” And in typical Musk fashion, his first order of business would be firing longtime ABC anchor David Muir, the face of World News Tonight. The decision, it seems, stems from Muir’s role in the controversial presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, where Musk claims Muir “crossed the line” with his moderation tactics.
“ABC is broken. Journalism is broken. And who better to fix it than me?” Musk reportedly told close associates in a private conversation. “David Muir is just the beginning. ABC needs a reboot, and I’m ready to hit the reset button.”
The news, while not officially confirmed by Musk, has already sparked waves of speculation about what the billionaire would do with a major news network under his control. Known for his bold, unpredictable moves—from launching rockets with SpaceX to acquiring and overhauling Twitter/X—Musk’s latest plan could signal a dramatic shift in the world of mainstream media.
The seeds of this potential buyout were sown during the recent presidential debate, moderated by Muir and his ABC colleague Linsey Davis. The debate, which featured heated exchanges between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, became an instant flashpoint for controversy—primarily due to the moderators’ handling of Trump’s responses.
