Nah, they seem like they’d end up with Paramount given how much they currently own of it, 15.4%.... Looks like I could inadvertently be getting more Disney. :/

It’s pretty typical for businesses to leverage existing revenue streams to invest in new revenue streams.In the real world, if a business loses money for several years, and then finally stop losing money that doesn’t mean they are profitable. They aren’t profitable until they make up what they lost for several years! Haha.
Indeed, the overall company is still netting billions.It’s pretty typical for businesses to leverage existing revenue streams to invest in new revenue streams.
No matter how you spin it net income is at lowsIndeed, the overall company is still netting billions.
When Disney bought Pixar for billions, where were all the people bemoaning that loss of cash savings which could have been more dividends?
The purchases of Pixar, LucasFilm, Marvel, and 20thC were all investments which 'hurt' the bottom line, but, was presumed to provide profit later on.
I agree, but, If Disney+ ever becomes profitable all the losses to get there will be forgotten and Iger will be crowned king of entertainment.In the real world, if a business loses money for several years, and then finally stop losing money that doesn’t mean they are profitable.

Just a rumor.Friend of Iger so TWDC continues business as usual?
As the kids might say, let's manifest that.Elon is buying Disney
Entertainment is so far outside his wheelhouse that I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would think he is a good fit for a company like Disney. He does his best in areas that interest him and that has always been tech focused.As the would kids say, let's manifest that.

How's that boring company going?Entertainment is so far outside his wheelhouse that I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would think he is a good fit for a company like Disney. He does his best in areas that interest him and that has always been tech focused.
True, just not sure I want that to be a part of the theme park experience when I head to a Disney park.I don't know.
Watching a 52 year old man constantly trying to PWN his haters while pretending he doesn't care is entertaining in a totally unscripted if-reality-tv-were-real sort of way.
Not well last I checked.How's that boring company going?
Musk is focused on issues important to the future of humanity. The environment (Tesla), traffic (Boring Co.), AI (xAI), free speech (X) and the possible extinction of consciousness due to a global event, requiring humanity to become a spacefaring, multi-planetary species (SpaceX).Entertainment is so far outside his wheelhouse that I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would think he is a good fit for a company like Disney.

His actions argue otherwise but for the sake of the discussion let's say all that is true, that still doesn't make him a good fit for an entertainment company. One of the reasons Twitter has been such a disaster is that he had NO idea what he was walking into or how to manage it and it shows.Musk is focused on issues important to humanity.

Disney is the most beloved entertainment company in history. The content that Disney puts out has an impact on humanity, and especially on children. I could easily see him being interested in Disney's future. Whether he's interested enough to be willing and able to secure the untold billions it would take to acquire them remains to be seen.
He can own the company and put into place entertainment industry veterans in whom he has confidence to run the C Suite.His actions argue otherwise but for the sake of the discussion let's say all that is true, that still doesn't make him a good fit for an entertainment company.

This goes for anyone, if you don't understand what you are running, you're are going to make bad decisions.
You don’t have to be an expert to own a company, you just need to hire experts. Something he’s done pretty well with Tesla, The Boreing co, Spacex, etc but something he’s done a horrible job with Twitter.His actions argue otherwise but for the sake of the discussion let's say all that is true, that still doesn't make him a good fit for an entertainment company.

Yes, but we were talking about running a company or at least that is how I read it. However, even as an owner instead of a CEO, you need to know enough to know what you don't know.You don’t have to be an expert to own a company, you just need to hire experts.

Unfortunately with Musk you don’t know if you’re going to get the concept level guy or the micromanager guy.
Was. It is a divisive company now, based on the public perception trends of recent years and brand-wide crisis.Disney is the most beloved entertainment company in history.
