He wanted to buy the Babylon Bee, but that’s actually worth something.
UNCLE WALT’S INSIDER H.Q., SVALBARD — Fresh off his purchase (and purge) of Twitter, billionaire Elon Musk announced today his plans to purchase Uncle Walt’s Insider.
The move comes after his first attempt to buy a news satire site, The Babylon Bee, fell through, due to the Bee “actually being worth something.” While the final purchase details for Uncle Walt’s have not been disclosed (unlike Twitter, U.W.I. is not a publicly traded company) (honestly, it’s barely even a company), inside sources [Ed.: Me.] say that U.W.I. is being purchased cheaply.
The cost of quality theme park satire
To obtain ownership of Uncle Walt’s, Musk will provide all U.W.I. staffers with complimentary blue-check status on Twitter for six months, restock the Svalbard H.Q. break room with name-brand snacks for a change [Ed.: No more “Twuzzlers” or “Snackers” bars!], and let all of us take a quick ride in his Tesla Roadster, if he ever brings it to Svalbard.
It’s likely that Musk’s ownership will bring downsizing, as it has at Twitter. Unfortunately, when Musk asked our Uncle Walt how many people work here, Walt replied, “About half, on a good day.” Turns out that was the wrong answer. We haven’t seen him since.
We’ll keep you posted on any updates on the purchase.
