In what may go down as one of the most dramatic media shake-ups of the year, ABC has reportedly lost almost 1 million subscribers overnight. The reason? One tweet from tech mogul Elon Musk, who, after witnessing what he described as “blatant bias” during ABC’s recent presidential debate coverage, called for a full-blown boycott of the network. As with most things involving Musk, the fallout was swift, chaotic, and absolutely meme-worthy.
It wouldn’t be the first time he ventured into uncharted territory. After all, Musk started with electric cars when everyone told him it couldn’t be done, then he launched rockets to Mars, and now he’s making waves in social media. Why wouldn’t the next logical step be to take over mainstream media?
