    Racist billionaire Elon Musk will now have access to an even larger media platform to promote hate, disinformation, and praise of himself after he invested a reported $1 billion in Skydance, the media juggernaut that owns Paramount and Warner Bros

    I'm sure there won't be any conflict of interest here, especially when the investment is from such a "free speech absolutist". By "free speech absolutist" I mean someone who chases Special K with Absolute vodka and bans people from X who criticize him.

    Produced by HBO Documentary Films, Musk is scheduled to air on HBO next year following a theatrical run. HBO was previously owned by Warner Bros. but is now under the control of Ellison’s Skydance.

    It sounds like US oligarch Elon Musk might censor both theater release and streaming. I hope the director has good contract that allows him to re-release elsewhere in this situation.
