<\/a>Screenshot: NBC<\/p>\nExecutives at Paramount Skydance have reportedly discussed asking Elon Musk for a potential investment in the studio as it moves forward with its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.<\/p>\n
The report hails from Semafor<\/a> (via Equity Tea<\/a>) and says that while it\u2019s only \u2018preliminary\u2019, Paramount seeks fresh sources of cash and discussions have included seeking equity investment from several wealty individuals \u2013 including Musk.<\/p>\n The latest report also claims that Paramount CEO David Ellison may approach Musk due to his longstanding ties to David\u2019s father and Oracle founder Larry Ellison. Larry invested $1 billion in Musk\u2019s X deal to take Twitter private.<\/p>\n Larry is partly involved in Paramount\u2019s $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery and previously personally guaranteed over $46 billion of the equity financing for the acquisition.<\/p>\n The company recently settled an antitrust lawsuit initially filed by the Attorneys General of twelve states, the last major hurdle preventing the deal from going through.<\/p>\n Under the agreement, certain guardrails for CNN are in place, along with financial penalties tied to Ellison\u2019s promise to deliver 30 movies a year along with investments of $1.5 billion in U.S. film production and in protecting and creating jobs.<\/p>\n
