Decentralize Disney. But it is unbearable as it is, and would be detestable under the proposed ownership. So let it go; it is a joke anyway.

If the reports are true, Elon Musk’s potential bid to buy Disney, allegedly with Donald Trump’s support, adds yet another layer of intrigue to the intersection of business, politics, and media influence. Both Musk and Trump have shown a flair for making headlines and shaking up traditional institutions, and a move like this would undoubtedly be positioned as a major disruption to the entertainment industry.

Disney, with its vast intellectual property portfolio and cultural influence, represents a strategic asset in shaping narratives and controlling media content. Musk’s interest could stem from a desire to influence that space, much like his acquisition of Twitter was framed as a push for “free speech.” Trump's involvement suggests a potential alignment of interests to reshape cultural and political storytelling in a way that counters perceived mainstream narratives.

However, this raises significant questions about consolidation of power and influence. Would such a deal be in the public’s best interest, or would it further entrench control in the hands of a few influential figures? Media and entertainment are already criticized for being dominated by elite interests; adding Musk and Trump to that equation could either upend the status quo or reinforce it under a different banner.

It also highlights how centralized entities, like Disney, become targets for high-profile figures seeking to steer cultural discourse. In contrast, decentralized systems like Bitcoin or open-source platforms offer an alternative—a system where influence isn't concentrated but distributed, making it less susceptible to being co-opted by a single individual or ideology.
