ABC Loses Almost 1 Million Subscribers Overnight After Elon Musk’s Boycott Call
In what may go down as one of the most dramatic media shake-ups of the year, ABC has reportedly lost almost 1 million subscribers overnight.
The reason? One tweet from tech mogul Elon Musk, who, after witnessing what he described as “blatant bias” during ABC’s recent presidential debate coverage, called for a full-blown boycott of the network. As with most things involving Musk, the fallout was swift, chaotic, and absolutely meme-worthy.
he Twitter/X tycoon’s simple but potent call to arms came after the highly anticipated Trump vs. Harris debate, moderated by ABC’s David Muir and Linsey Davis. While presidential debates are always hotbeds of contention, this one hit a new level of absurdity, with Musk’s ire specifically aimed at what he saw as the moderators’ heavy-handed fact-checking of Donald Trump. According to Musk and his followers, Harris received much lighter treatment during the debate, prompting Musk to jump in and declare ABC unwatchable.
