Tech journalist putting together investor group to buy Washington Post, rejects Elon Musk in advance
Tech reporter Kara Swisher is working towards assembling a group of investors to purchase The Washington Post from billionaire Jeff Bezos.
However, Bezos has given no indication he is willing to sell.
Swisher preemptively rejected pro-Trump billionaire Elon Musk's participation in the investor consortium in comments to Axios.
"Hopefully not Elon," Swisher said, "though he seems pretty busy these days being President (Not) Elect."
"Elon Musk, the guy who really runs things. He's not just Trump's co-president. I think that's way too low a title," MSNBC's Chris Hayes said during his Wednesday monologue. "He's the head dude in charge and House Republicans certainly know who they are taking their marching orders from."
While Musk has yet to respond directly to Swisher's comments, he entered the media landscape in full force by purchasing Twitter in 2022. Musk has since changed the name of the company to X, aiming to create an "everything app."
