Entertainment Dec 06, 2025

Elon Musk jumped into the Hollywood drama by posting a popcorn emoji on X, just as Netflix reportedly struck a massive $72 billion deal to buy Warner Bros Discovery's studios—home to big names like Harry Potter and Game of Thrones.
The move has everyone watching what's next in this high-stakes streaming showdown.

Paramount isn't happy with how things went down

Paramount says the sale wasn't fair, claiming their all-cash offer was actually higher than Netflix's mix of cash, stock, and cable assets.
Now, they're even considering a "hostile bid" to fight for Warner Bros Discovery, making this one of the industry's most contentious corporate battles of the year.
