Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

literally just cancelled disney+ last week. now they're gonna buy hulu and jack the prices up?
Disney used to own 66% of Hulu. All they did was buy the remaining 33% of it.
All this really changes is a bit of accounting and divying up the profits. Disney rolled Disney Streaming and Hulu into one combined engineering team several years back. They own ESPN, too.
So when Disney's price hike doesn't produce the amount of new money that selling the same thing is expected to produce do you think they'll just take it on the chin and say "Oh well, we're already very profitable and successful we dont need extra money" or do you think they'll raise the price of Hulu while cutting the quality of service?
No, but would they when they had to give Comcast their share?
I would love to just get a tiny glimpse of the future in say 10-15 years. At this rate I would bet Disney will own literally all media of every type....
We'll have Disney Entertainment, Nestle Foods, Amazon Everything, and Musk Internet. That will be the entire economy.
This is why I don't look forward to the future lol
this was always the end stage of capitalism: one megacorporation that everyone rents everything from, permanently entrenched and either in bed with a government they've bought and paid for or so powerful on its own that government dare not attempt to do anything to regulate it.
I don't think musk will corner the Internet market. I don't have a timeline in mind, and I could be wrong, but as established car makers start getting into the EV game with gusto I think Tesla could end up losing a lot of value and absorbed by one of the big international car manufacturers as their inhouse EV brand.
He's talking about starlink, not Tesla. Ford isnt about to launch an ISP
I know. I was extremely unclear but I was using Tesla as an example how I think musk won't be as wealthy and powerful in the future. I don't think that there's a chance that starlink will replace all ISPs in the future
