Disney is preparing for some big changes in its parks and resorts. A new CEO will soon be announced, a huge Magic Kingdom expansion was recently confirmed, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a new hotel addition. But thanks to a new rumor circulating online, many people are wondering if tech billionaire Elon Musk is buying Disney World.

Thanks to the complicated nature of social media, it’s easy for rumors and false stories to gain momentum without much fact-checking. We’re here to break down the latest claim and explain what’s really happening at Disney World.
A satirical headline reading, “BREAKING: Elon Musk Is Buying Disney World,” is currently trending on Google. Searches like “Elon buying Disney” and “Is Elon buying Disney” are up over 300% right now.

Elon Musk has been making headlines lately thanks to his participation in political rallies across America. With increased chatter on X (formerly Twitter) and other social media platforms, Musk has become a hot topic in the news.

That said, the headline asserting that the tech billionaire is buying Disney World is completely unverified. There has been no evidence that Elon Musk plans to get involved with The Walt Disney Company, and the headline comes from a company known for promoting satirical news.

Back in February, Elon Musk criticized Disney and implied the company was participating in racist and sexist business practices. These claims came after Disney CEO Bob Iger removed Disney advertisements from X after Musk reportedly made antisemitic comments on social media.

Disney has not publicly addressed the rumors at this time. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
