Elon Musk invests $1 billion in Skydance as media giant grapples with debt

The cash lands as David Ellison's Skydance carries a huge debt pile after its $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery. Musk's stake is part of a broader push by the media giant to raise fresh equity. Media mogul John Malone predicts something far bigger: an $8bn to $10bn SpaceX investment. 'I think there's a deal coming there,' he said.
President Trump backed the merger: 'It's going to be a great company.'
Larry Ellison once declared: 'I'm very close friends with Elon Musk.'
Malone says Larry Ellison used Tesla stock to help fund Skydance's creation.
