With Paramount, Elon Musk Could Dominate American Cinema and Crush Netflix

Elon Musk may become an investor in the Paramount-Warner Bros group, with a $110 billion deal nearing completion. Paramount is considering inviting Musk to join as a shareholder, which could diversify funding sources and reduce financial risk, especially for the Ellison family. The combined entity would have a vast catalog including franchises like Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, DC, Mission: Impossible, Top Gun, and SpongeBob SquarePants, and would integrate HBO Max and Paramount+. Musk, already involved in technology through Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink, could expand into media and entertainment investments.
