No no no no, that would be a terrible move because we all know that Musk has an agenda and Disney is very friendly to the public. He would literally be the boss of the entertainment businesses. Do you want to see that notorious man be in control of a company like Disney the Happiest Place on Earth? I would hate to see all the actors be his employee. These are people that influence public opinion and pop culture.
he can run all he wants, but he won’t win. Even FoxNews has abandoned him. They do not show or cover him any more, just his paid shills in prime time.
His own political audience last week did not support him significantly, and that was “his people”
Creativity and imagination is dead at Disney. They just buy and assimilate it (Mary Poppins, Winnie the Pooh, Star Wars, Marvel, Simpsons, lol) Or kill animals to earn awards for a nature film, that’s been out for a long time.
Really? Stop thinking with your emotions and use some common sense. Musk is a hugely successful businessman and has accomplished more in one minute than you have probably your entire life. Disney is failing miserably. He would turn that company around in a split second.
He should have bought Disney instead of trying to buy Twitter, a buyers remorse nightmare. I can see Disney parks going in the right direction with robotics and ride system technology with Musk at the helm.
I am part owner and in short not going to happen. The company is better in the hands of people that have the same vision as Walt then Elon. This is why I have stock invested in them. If Elon buys I am dumping.
Walt was a conservative by any measure. He was also a genius. I’d tend to think he has a LOT more in common with Elon that Iger, Paycheck, or any of the other Hollywood Lefty Loonies. In fact, if Walt were still there, this push to indoctrinate the youth of the world into the idea that LGBTQ is “normal” somehow would have never gotten off the ground. ABC news would also be a reliable news source, and the hags at the view would be pan-handling.
Walt would have fired all these communists. How do I know? Because he did when he ran the company! Look it up. Not one of the executives at Disney would have been welcome under Walt.
Y’know, in the art of negotiation, it’s always a smart idea to sophomorically mock and belittle your company before negotiating a price, especially if they’re a #1 company only going through a temporary bad phase caused by a CEO they haven’t thrown out yet.
But it’s unlike the old tale, where the Boy Who Cried Wolf had to do it THREE times before everyone caught on he was blowing it out of his hinder..
Disney has become a horribly run company pushing political agenda over art to kids. Anti-family. It needs to drastically change direction quick and if this would do it I would be all for it.
actually, Disney is very pro-family. It is just not pro-Racist or pro-Biggoted family. But that is very Pro Family, it just does not look like your biggot friendly family.
He is brilliant! If the rumors are true, the stock will plummet. Once the shares tank, you will be able to pick up it for next to nothing. Then you will be able to hold a longer while the market builds backup. You could make millions.
Brilliant? The man’s a nut job with an unearned ego that can be seen from space. It absolutely will not surprise me when the obvious scandals are revealed about him.
The current regime running this great company has to go … they are MORONS. I’m just not sure if Musk would be the right person for the job. His support of technology could be great for the parks but I’m just not sure he ‘gets’ what Disney is all about any more than the current morons do.
I don’t know if Musk is the right person, the technology interests may propel Disney into the future at a much faster rate. But something is going on with Disney. Why would a company sit back and watch its stock tank. Keep in bad management, let disparaging remarks go in answered and ignore customer satisfaction? Feels like a sell to me on disneys part. They are dangling a carrot. Someone will be picking up millions of shares soon. Disney is on the presuppose of real change.
What would Walt do will not save Disney, that would litterally be the end of the company. It failed in the 70s and early 80s. But keep up that Apple Dumpling Gang fantasy.
It’s name is quickly becoming synonymous with expensive, sub-par experiences and extreme agendas. It’s a shame they’re dragging Walt’s name through the mud.
Disney’s stock has tanked. They sit back with no answer to Universal Studio’s expansions. The latest changes in the park are not well accepted. Change is needed. Is Musk the answer? I just don’t think Walt, himself, would be happy the way his company is being run currently. Just my opinion.
Based on Musk’s success, he would turn Disney around. They and their stock has definitely tanked. Blame it on their loss of direction and failure to understand their customer base and instead catering to the woke agenda
Elon Musk is a troll who may have some brilliant ideas, but he cannot manage his own affairs – so I don’t see him managing the Walt Disney Company.
I am with everyone who agrees that Bob Chapek is not the right CEO to be leading the Walt Disney Company … but I also agree that the Walt Disney Board needs to be wiped clean (we need people who care about the Brand vs corporate bean counters that only care about the value of their stocks!)
Comments for Elon Musk Throws Shade at Disney Amid Rumors He Might Buy Company

Kim
Your Absolutely Right! If that was to happen no more Disney Cruise’s for me!
Linda
If Musk buys Disney I will sell my DVC share and never go again. Musk is vile.
J
Have you tried selling them as a reseller?
Robert Sanders
Is anyone else getting tired of this rich clown. He used to be interesting but lately is just too full of himself & full of crap!
Puto
Sure are a lot of widdle hurt feelings here in the comments! Did Elon Musk hurt your fragile egos? Awww poor babies
Vile
Something tells me YOU are the one that is vile if you approve of what Disney is up to, but hate Musk.
Tom
Awwww poor thing!
Chris
Musk is not going to Disney it’s all just a publicity stunt just like BS Twitter buyout
Extraly1
… and that Donald Trump running for President is just a publicity stunt too … oh, wait!
SCOTT m Lee-ROSS
he can run all he wants, but he won’t win. Even FoxNews has abandoned him. They do not show or cover him any more, just his paid shills in prime time.

Change of pace
That’s what we need. Someone who isn’t a flaming leftist in entertainment and news.
Robert Balderrama
We had Trump already as leader and he is the one that created all these problems. He is no.leader just a clown that has money.
Get leftism out
Every problem in America is caused by leftism.
John
Creativity and imagination is dead at Disney. They just buy and assimilate it (Mary Poppins, Winnie the Pooh, Star Wars, Marvel, Simpsons, lol) Or kill animals to earn awards for a nature film, that’s been out for a long time.
Sue Garofalo
Seriously? If a company can intentionally kill a bunch of innocent innocent little animals for their own profit you don’t think that’s an agenda
Fire Chapek
My 10 year old would be an immensely superior CEO than the current Disney CEO. Bob “Tragic” has set the bar extremely low.
June Newton
think he would do better than the ceo they have now he has ruined Disney
Thedreamfinder
And I thought the current leader of Disney is bad… Elon would be far worse.
Walt
based on what – oh no proof just like so many other things. the company is in a california mudslide but Elon is going to ruin it?
D

Lol guy couldn’t even buy twitter, let’s not get any ideas about disney.

Blind leading blind
You think Bob Chapek has the vision Walt had? LOL you must be totally blind.
DS
You really feel they are going in the direction Walt would be!!! NOT!!! Sell your stock, I’m sure someone else will buy them!
MKNeighbor

Get out
Walt would have fired all these communists. How do I know? Because he did when he ran the company! Look it up. Not one of the executives at Disney would have been welcome under Walt.
Bidensucks
I’d buy stock if musk bought Disney. Disney is not running as if Walt made decisions.. are you nuts? Bunch of transvestites running around? Lol geez
Frank
If he bought Disney, there would be no shares to buy. It would be a private company.
J
He needs far less to have total control
Private Public
He doesn’t have to take it private to control it, it just makes it easier to run.

mature.
L. Jen
The multiple places that I worked inside the WDW resort were very racists, sexists, bigoted, discriminatory and violent.
Eastway
He does not have the money to but Disney.
Plunging Valuation
If Bob and the Board keep it up, Musk will be able to pick up Disney at the fire sale (with the backing of several banks).
Walt
yup – my stock is down from a high of 217 to last I looked 97.00 Great work Bob and the woke board has done.
Read about the revoluton that put Eisner in and then sway it can’t be done?
Molly
He is brilliant! If the rumors are true, the stock will plummet. Once the shares tank, you will be able to pick up it for next to nothing. Then you will be able to hold a longer while the market builds backup. You could make millions.
Depression
The market isn’t going to “build backup” any time soon. The effects of Joe’s policies are only now starting. Wait until China sets in…
Damon
Brilliant? The man’s a nut job with an unearned ego that can be seen from space. It absolutely will not surprise me when the obvious scandals are revealed about him.
Nobody
What have you done of value, then? I’m sure you’re so much more influential than Musk to be making a comment like this!
Damon
He doesn’t remotely have enough money for that and disney has no desire to be bought. This is just him attention seeking.
Marcus
Not sure even he could swing a deal that big. As for Mickey and copyright laws, copyrights should live into perpetuity.
Not property
Copyright shouldn’t even exist.

I hope so!!!
Real change
I hope that change involves firing all the weirdos.
DS
Absolutely!!!

What would Walt do will not save Disney, that would litterally be the end of the company. It failed in the 70s and early 80s. But keep up that Apple Dumpling Gang fantasy.
What's in a name
It’s name is quickly becoming synonymous with expensive, sub-par experiences and extreme agendas. It’s a shame they’re dragging Walt’s name through the mud.
SHeila

Please!!!! Buy the company and surface the swamp that runs it! Maybe I’ll be able to go back to work if he was the CEO in charge.
Jayne1955
Chapek is an idiot but Musk would be worse. After what happened with Twitter he has no credibility.
ROneill
The best comment is all. You’re absolutely correct.
Mason
Hey if Elon Musk bought Disney he would become Disney’s first African- American CEO. Now that is pushing for equality.
African-American
Progress, mon.
Denis
Does Elon musk ever stop seeking attention?
Miles
WOAH!! Think of how cool and futuristic he would make Tomorrowland!
Lanny
He can’t afford it.
Changing course
He only needs to convince people to lend him the money. With stock in the toilet, Disney looks like a good value with new management.
Sean Golden
He’s already backing out of the Twitter deal . Also THey don’t have to say “yes” to the deal,duh.
M
Time for a good ole hostile takeover to right the ship and set her back on course. She’s sinking.
Ruben
Just like how he “might’ve bought” Twitter? Yet another case of Musk stirring the pot to see what bubbles up, by the sound of it.
June Newton
I agree bring Disney back how it used to be the happy place fastpass and dining
A
I agree 100%!!!
