Elon Musk, the billionaire businessman, has openly expressed his interest in acquiring shares of the renowned American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate, The Walt Disney Company, which is more commonly known as Disney.
Musk, however, has made it clear that his decision to purchase shares in Disney hinges on the condition that activist investor Nelson Peltz secures a position on Disney’s board of directors.
Despite Peltz facing defeat in a challenge against Disney’s board, Musk, who was recently appointed as Disney’s Chief Diversity Officer, has voiced his support for Peltz, citing his impressive track record and potential contributions to the company’s growth and shareholder value.
