Social media is blowing up with rumors that Elon Musk might actually buy Disney World and Disneyland, and the reactions are pretty hilarious. Some people are already dreaming of cheaper tickets and a “return to Disney magic,” while others are super skeptical, wondering if Musk would even want to mess with such a huge company.
Many TikTok users are all in, hoping Disneyland might get more “family-friendly,” but others are pointing out that buying Disney would cost billions, which isn’t exactly pocket change, even for Elon Musk. So, what’s the deal, anyway? Is there any shred of truth to this speculation? And how did this rumor even originate in the first place? Let’s dive in.
Elon Musk ‘Is Buying Disney World’ for $50 Billion—But Is It All Just a Fantasy?
In the above TikTok clip that’s been making rounds since last weekend, Mouse Trap News reports that Elon Musk is buying Disney World for $50 billion, which is even more than he supposedly spent on Twitter. The video suggests Musk wants to “restore Disney World to its former glory” by ditching “woke” updates, bringing back the original Splash Mountain, and stopping what they call “discrimination days” (probably referencing Mouse Trap News’s other stories).
The narrator compares Musk’s rebranding of Twitter as “X” to what he could do with Disney World, saying people are hyped about his plans to improve the park, make tickets cheaper, and speed up projects like Universal Studios does. They even say Musk would bring back the free Fast Pass system, a throwback to when Disney didn’t charge for line-skipping.
On their official site, they dive into more details. The article points out how Musk’s rebranding success with Twitter—now “X”—shows he could pull off a similar turnaround at Disney World. They suggest Musk will speed up Disney World’s slow project timelines, getting new attractions and expansions up way faster. Plus, he’ll aim to cut park prices and boost the overall guest experience, making Disney World more affordable and fun for everyone.
A lot of people took this claim seriously, but we can confirm there’s zero truth to it. Elon Musk is NOT buying Disney World and Disneyland, just as he’s not acquiring Fox News or Ford Motor Company. Mouse Trap News openly admits their stories are just funny, fake takes on Disney Parks news—they’re all for laughs and satire! Their TikTok profile description reads, “‼️Real Disney News That is 100% FAKE‼️” Even their tagline, “The Most Trusted Name in Disney News,” is a joke.
Elon Musk’s ‘Disneyland Buyout’ Sends TikTok Into a Frenzy—And the Comments Are Priceless!
The comment section under the fake TikTok about Elon Musk possibly buying Disney is priceless. Some people are, unironically, all for it—like sr_engineer42 who says, “If he does buy it .. our family will return,” and psopro2 calling it “the greatest thing in forever,” hoping for Disney’s “golden days” to come back. Azwanders joins in, wishing Musk would “make it affordable again,” which resonates with those frustrated with Disney’s high prices.
Others get a bit playful, like towlife_90 who gives a nod to Elon’s techy vibe and imagines him rolling out robots all over the park. Some are even calling him Disney’s potential savior, with rosegillette0 comparing him to Walt Disney himself, saying, “Walt would be proud of Elon…not just the upper class and elite,” suggesting Musk could make Disney more accessible.
Of course, there are plenty of skeptics in the mix. Roberto Rodriguez drops a mysterious hint with, “THE UNDERGROUND THERE IS UNBELIEVABLE,” while FlyDude keeps it simple with, “too bad this isn’t true.” Then there’s Kathy Kelly who chimes in, “So hope this is false. I love Disney Work.” Finally, a few just see it as a fun fantasy, like tambourine_skye joking, “Did they really just win and say ‘I’m going to Disney World! To buy it!’”
In case you’re still confused, the TikTok clip and the website piece are pure satire, mixing real issues like Disney’s prices with a fake story about Elon Musk swooping in to make some wild changes. Mouse Trap News is known for its parody content, so none of this is actually true.
