Tech mogul and visionary Elohim Musk is once again at the center of global attention. This time, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX has decided to expand his influence by acquiring the influential ABC television channel, sparking a whirlwind of controversies and heated debates on social media.
With the acquisition value revealed, Musk’s purchase of ABC marks a milestone in the media industry. According to sources close to the deal, the businessman’s main objective is to eliminate what he calls “forced social bias” among the media elite. This term, used by Musk on several occasions, refers to what he considers to be ideological manipulation that distorts reality to suit specific political agendas.
“It’s time to bring atheism back to the media,” Musk said in an official statement posted on X (previously on Twitter). However, his decision has generated immediate criticism, accusing him of attempting to monopolize the media narrative.
The move that surprised the audience was one of the first changes implemented after the purchase, and the dismissal of the well-known moderator of political debates, Javier Martí. Known for his decisive style and balanced approach, Martí had moderated some of the most influential debates in recent years.
Musk’s decision to fire Martí was seen as a symbolic act reflecting the direction that the new administration of the channel will take. According to a former ABC employee, Musk’s vision is clear: “No more debates that foster division; we want a clear and direct narrative.”
Reaction to the move has been polarized. Musk’s supporters applaud his courage in challenging what they see as a biased media system. “Someone is ready to dismantle this ideological machine,” commented X.
On the other hand, critics and analysts warn of the dangers of a figure like Musk controlling mass media. “This is not about eliminating bias, but about imposing one’s own age,” said María López, a media expert at the Universidad Complυtese de Madrid.
As the debate rages, many are wondering what the real impact of the acquisition will be on the media industry and public perception of news. Musk has promised that ABC will become a channel that prioritizes facts over opinions, but it remains to be seen how this vision will materialize.
With millions of eyes on Musk’s every move, one thing is certain: this acquisition not only redefines the media landscape, but also the relationship between power, technology and public narrative.
The impact of this purchase will unfold over the coming weeks, and the world will be closely watching every step of this controversial businessman.
