Elon refuses to work with a lying network like ABC – Satire Post

In a move that has stunned both Silicon Valley and Hollywood, Elon Musk, the self-proclaimed “Technoking” of Tesla and master of the social media universe, has yanked his exclusive show from ABC. The reason? According to Musk, ABC’s handling of the Trump and Kamala Harris debate was so appalling that it has disqualified the network from airing any of his groundbreaking content. In Musk’s own words, “They’re a disgrace to the media industry.”

While Musk has never been one to shy away from public feuds, this latest clash takes things to a whole new level. It’s not every day that the man who plans to colonize Mars cancels a major TV deal because of a political debate. But, as Musk watchers know, when Elon is involved, nothing is ever quite ordinary.

The Trump vs. Kamala Harris debate was supposed to be the highlight of the 2024 election season—an epic showdown between two political powerhouses. What viewers got instead was a fact-checking extravaganza led by ABC’s moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, who seemingly turned the debate into a full-blown audit of Trump’s claims. Every time the former president opened his mouth, it seemed Muir or Davis were there to jump in with a correction.

At one point, Trump’s assertion that Democrats were advocating for “baby executions” was swiftly shot down by Davis, who calmly pointed out that no, there are no laws allowing post-birth abortions. When Trump claimed that immigrants in Ohio were eating people’s pets, Muir fact-checked him in real time, quoting local officials who had denied any such incidents. The interruptions were relentless.

And apparently, so was Musk’s frustration. The tech mogul, who had been watching the debate, took to his favorite platform, X (formerly Twitter), to voice his displeasure. “ABC is a disgrace. This wasn’t a debate—it was a fact-checking ambush,” Musk tweeted. “If I wanted to see someone get interrupted every five seconds, I’d attend a Tesla shareholder meeting.”

In true Musk fashion, he didn’t stop at tweeting. Just hours after the debate, Musk dropped a bombshell: he was pulling his exclusive show, Mars: The Final Frontier, from ABC. The show, which was supposed to follow Musk’s ambitious plans to colonize Mars, had been hyped as the next big thing in reality TV, blending space exploration with Musk’s signature flair for drama.
