We’re throwing on our sharpest suits and unleashing the inner mob boss because Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison is strutting into the regulated boardroom with swagger.
You see, unlike other wannabe bidders eyeing Warner Bros. Discovery, David’s got a secret weapon: he’s got the mob boss of politics, Donald Trump, in his corner. With their finger sandwiches and small talk, it looks like they’re in cahoots—but hey, who needs fair competition when you’ve got a VIP pass to the regulatory circus!
Ellison believes he’ll skate past antitrust concerns because, let’s face it, a friendly chat with the Big Daddy of America trumps all those pesky rules. Sounds familiar? It’s that classic tale of connections over qualifications.
This whole situation is a reminder that the world of big-business acquisitions runs on more than just spreadsheets and PowerPoints; it’s also about who you know, not what you know.
So, will the merger go through, or is this another case of gangsters and games? Only time will tell—but even the dictionary would need to add a few pages if all the characters in this drama stepped onto the scene.
What do you think? Is true power in business linked to shady deals or genuine strategy? Let’s hear your thoughts!
