Although Baldwin later apologized for his comments, Musk did not change his decision to end the show. Many people believe that Musk’s decision reflects the tough and determined personality of a famous investor and entrepreneur, while others believe that this is just an overreaction to a spontaneous statement.
Despite the criticism, many in the media industry also predict that with Musk’s influence and ability to generate attention, this is just one of his strategic moves to build and consolidate his own media empire.
Will this decision have a major impact on Musk’s career or will there be more drastic changes in the future? Only time will tell.
