A stake of this size could give Musk meaningful influence over a major media conglomerate that owns one of the most prominent cable news networks, though it's unclear whether this would translate into board representation or editorial input. Given Musk's history of vocal criticism of mainstream media outlets, including CNN, the investment may raise questions about his intentions, though no explicit motive has been confirmed by Musk or the company.
