Not political but do you think Elon Musk is trying to develop a streaming

Twitter TV service with the Carlson contract? I don't watch Carlson but that is a lot of money. Musk has the internet satellites and rockets to put them into space. He could soon turn Twitter into another streaming YoutubeTV and much more. Live broadcast with interactive Twitter posts in a box on the screen or other users interactions. I can imagine watching a Hokie football game with the awful Techsideline or Twitter comments popping on the screen LOL. TV will change for better or worse. I always thought DirectTV and Dish are dying because they got rich and happy and did not adapt. They should have saw what Netflix was doing and started producing their own content. I expect Musk to be buying up more live content in the near future possible sports content. If successful, I expect the Sherman Antitrust Act will eventually get slapped on him but he will be global and beyond just the US market reach. Maybe the Chicoms will be popping off those satellites if they don't like the message. The modern day Peter Weyland.
