Paramount Global, led by David Ellison, is trying to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, but the offer has been rejected multiple times. The deal is complicated by regulatory issues and politics, with US President Donald Trump reportedly opposing a potential merger between Warner Bros. Discovery and Comcast. The situation remains uncertain, with Warner Bros. Discovery's CEO David Zaslav reportedly telling Ellison to "get serious or go home".

"BREAKING: @paramountco @Skydance increasingly confident it will prevail over @netflix with @wbd shareholders given preliminary talks and media industry insiders expect that it will likely increase its bid to easily cover the $XXX billion break-up fee which it calculates to be around $X a share and likely more. My government sources say media reports of Trump administration animus to the $PSKY bid is way overblown. The real worry is @netflix controlling 1/3 of the streaming market as it has been.

"BREAKING: @paramountco @Skydance execs including David Ellison are taking the weekend to weigh options after the @netflix victory in bidding war for @wbd which they believe was rigged. While a possible appeal to shareholders is definitely a possibility another angle of pursuit is simply to allow the regulatory process to pan out and if as expected it's a brutal one then swoop in with another bid. I should point out that both Ted Sarandos and David Zaslav are confident they can get this deal approved based after Sarandos launched a charm offensive with the White House and even Trump directly."

"BREAKING NEWS: As the @nypost first reported last week @paramountco - @Skydance is going hostile and will appeal directly to @wbd shareholders that its bid was superior to @netflix.

The Netflix deal relies on the sale of $WBDs cable assets for as much as $X a share to get to $XX and they're worth more like $X. Then its deal has "regulatory" certainty where Netflix as I have been reporting doesn't. Game on"

"For the tea-leaf readers of the world: David Ellison was spotted at the Kennedy Center last night with his wife seated near President Trump and Melania. Trump and David Ellison were later seen having a "warm conversation" said one person who was there. As most people know David Ellison his dad the long time MAGA supporter Oracle co founder Larry Ellison and their team are "pissed" that they lost the bidding war for @wbd to @netflix and believe their all-cash offer was superior but they were shut out for non financial reasons. They are weighing several moves including a hostile by appealing to"

"Umm deal will be closed before Trumps term ends. I guess they could hold hearings if they win Congress but they wont control CIFIUS or any agency that could block this"

"SCOOP: As previously reported @apolloglobal is helping with the financing of @paramountco @Skydance bid for @wbd with debt financing for $PSKYs all cash bid sources tell me. The price Im hearing is around $XX a share. Also getting conflicting accounts on whether @netflix bid for $WBD is all cash or mostly cash. Story developing"

"SCOOP: There is a last ditch by Wall Street and corporate America insiders to caution @realDonaldTrump about the selection of Kevin Hassett as Fed chair. Their argument goes something like this: Given the political nature of his job (NEC chief) and past work Hassett has lack of credibility inside the Fed with staff and in the markets which seeks a degree of Fed independence. Theyre saying that his appointment sets the stage for higher long term interest rates because 1) The Fed will be a disorganized mess with leader lacking credibility inside 2) If Hassett manages to cut short term rates ("

"SCOOP: If Netflix wins the bidding battle to control HBO Max and the Warner Bros. studio Trump's DOJ antitrust chief Gail Slater and her senior staff are working on plans to launch a sweeping multiyear investigation into Netflix's allegedly monopolistic control of streaming market according to people with direct knowledge of the matter. The Trump Administration is said to be unmoved by Netflix's recent lobbying effort to argue the deal doesn't violate antitrust law. cc @netflix @wbd @paramountco @Skydance @comcast"

"The messaging coming from the @WhiteHouse thats being funneled through right wing talking heads is that the economy is fine were still the greatest nation on earth (which we are) and you the working class American dont know how good you have it. Sound familiar It was exactly the disastrous messaging that @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris tried to sell and it failed. Yes Biden and Harris were two of the least articulate vessels for any message in modern American politics and Trump is not. But the economy is the economy. Since 2020 this has been an economy of liquidity pumped into system that always"

"So be prepared for lots of rationalizations of @netflixs size and market power in the months ahead ie that they really dont control that much engagement even with @wbd but from what I hear out of DOJ antitrust this is the stat that matters and its a hurdle via @YahooFinance: According to data from JustWatch a platform that measures streaming engagement across US services a combined NetflixWBD would control roughly a third of US streaming activity. Thats a level of concentration that has already drawn fierce criticism"

"His solution must be a government bailout of media which would be far worse than any of the alternatives. The reason why entertainment/news is for sale in such a manner is that the numbers aren't adding up. That's when people with money step in to innovate. Yes it's a legit concern to have the Saudis owning @CNN but that's why there are ownership concentration rules and regulators (BTW they have no management control in the @paramountco - @Skydance bid) It's also a legitimate concern that @netflix controls XX% of the streaming market. But are they really going to jack-up prices when people"
