Elon Musk is taking this new “Republican” thing pretty seriously.
The left-leaning billionaire turned right-leaning free speech crusader is in the midst of trying to buy Twitter.
The deal has been held up because Twitter is trying to pull a fast one about how many “bots” they’ve got swarming the platform.
Just today, Twitter has finally agreed to Elon’s terms and will supply the data needed to determine what’s going on with the bot situation.

In the meantime, it looks like Elon has even more plans in the works.
In a shocking twist, OANN CEO Robert Herring just tweeted out a post, saying someone very close to Elon has reached out and said that the Tesla founder is interested in buying the conservative cable network…
Wow, could this be real?
Here’s what CEO Robert Herring just said: “We just received a call from somebody very close to @elonmusk
telling us that he would like to talk to us about purchasing @OANN”

If this is true, it looks like Elon is interested in becoming a media mogul.
That’s not a bad idea; as a lot of conservatives would love a viable alternative to Fox News.
Many turned to Newsmax and OANN after Fox News sold everyone out on election night, but many have returned to Fox since then because honestly, they just have a much slicker, high-quality product.
It’d be amazing if Elon could take OANN, which has so much heart and soul, and make it a real competitor against Fox News, who we know is NOT our “friend.”
Stay tuned, we’ll see how this unfolds.
