There's no way in hell Paramount has that much cash available. This is gonna be a leveraged buyout of epic proportions, and it's gonna crash and burn epically too.
I kinda feel like having it all fall apart might be the best case scenario for everyone.
That’s because “Paramount” in the title translates to “the Ellisons.” I feel like they could have just spelled that out in the title.
The article later says
Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison and his dad Larry Ellison - who is funding the acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery out of his personal fortune
The fact that this is even being considered, is a problem. They should BOTH have been required to splinter apart into unrecognizable entities, instead.
Well that's bad for everyone
