Meanwhile, there are already rumors that other networks are circling, hoping to snatch up Musk’s project. Netflix, Amazon Prime, and even YouTube have all been floated as possible homes for Musk’s billion-dollar brainchild.

Musk himself seems unfazed by the chaos he’s unleashed. “Plenty of networks would love to air my show,” he tweeted. “I’m just waiting for the right one.”

The ripple effect of Musk’s decision goes beyond the loss of his show. CBS, already dealing with a decline in ratings and growing competition from streaming services, now faces an existential crisis. The network’s attempt to fact-check and hold candidates accountable during the debate may have cost them not only a high-profile show but also the trust of a significant portion of their viewership.
