Argentina President Javier Milei said in November 2024, "Elon Musk bought that filthy 'woke' bastion that was CNN."

By Jordan Liles


Claim:

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk bought CNN in November 2024.

Rating:

Originated as Satire

A rumor circulating online shortly after former U.S. President Donald Trump's reelection victory in November 2024 claimed that X owner, Tesla CEO and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk bought CNN.

Argentine President Javier Milei promoted the rumor while speaking in front of the Argentine Chamber of Commerce on Nov. 7 — the same day Reuters reported on Milei's plans to meet with Musk and Trump in the U.S. the following week. Numerous social media users and some publishers also shared the purported news as fact, with some citing Milei's remark.

However, the claim that Musk purchased CNN was not true. The rumor originated weeks earlier on a website describing its output as parody and satire.

We attempted to make contact with Milei's press office to ask about his promotion of the false rumor and will update this story if we receive comment.

Largest Newspaper in Argentina Shared the Rumor

Of the many online posts sharing the rumor, one Facebook post (archived) from Nov. 4 that received around 75,000 reactions read, "Elon Musk Agrees to $3 Billion to Buy CNN. Elon Musk Reportedly Eyeing CNN Acquisition: 'I'll Fix the Media, One Network at a Time.'"

A YouTube video from Nov. 1 displayed the title, "Elon Musk: 'I am officially buying CNN.'" Numerous users on X also repeated this rumor.

One publisher that shared the claim was Clarin — the Spanish-language newspaper with the largest distribution in Argentina. Clarin posted on X (archived) on Nov. 7, "Javier Milei revealed that Elon Musk 'bought' CNN and that it will be Donald Trump's chainsaw."

On Clarin.com, the Spanish-language article presented a brief transcription of the relevant section of Milei's remarks. He said, in part, "This is something to get excited about. You're going to see that what Donald Trump does will be talked about a little better, because today Elon Musk bought that filthy 'woke' bastion that was CNN, which means that now we're not only going to have freedom in X, but we're also going to have a network that's not so socialist, so left-wing."

The news Liberdade X account published a brief video featuring Spanish subtitles that showed Milei's remark about Musk and CNN.

As another example of a publisher sharing the false rumor, the conservative-political Brazilian production company Brasil Paralelo ran it in a Portuguese-language article on Nov. 7. The story's headline read, "Javier Milei revealed that Elon Musk 'bought' CNN." Hours later, Brasil Paralelo removed that article. The publisher has since reported a second story (archived) clarifying no credible person confirmed Musk's supposed purchase of CNN. Even so, as of Nov. 8, Google search results still displayed the headline for the retracted story, as did several posts on X.

Musk-CNN Rumor Originated as Satire

On Oct. 24, PolitiFact reported the facts and origins of the false rumor claiming Musk purchased CNN.

Six days earlier, on Oct. 18, the SpaceXMania website published an article displaying the same headline as the aforementioned Facebook post. That headline read, "Elon Musk Reportedly Eyeing CNN Acquisition: 'I'll Fix the Media, One Network at a Time.'"
