David Ellison names Skydance leadership team
JUST IN: Private opponents of Paramount-Skydance merger file emergency appeal with #SCOTUS in bid to derail the combination. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/09...
The Sevateem 🏳️⚧️10Good, I hope it works
plumstock.bsky.social7Good try, but they will greenlight as 6 out of 3 are in the tank for monied interests and a return to pre-1929 profits for the rich.
Pyperkub2SCOTUS? **this** pro-monopoly, pro-corruption SCOTUS? yeah, good luck with that.
Josh2Everyone in the public is calling it Shartdance. Pass it on.
Josh Gerstein182UPDATE: Kagan makes short work of this last-ditch bid to block Paramount-Skydance merger, denying it without comment in matter of a few hours. Could it be a sign of more rapid-fire "noes" on the emergency docket?
Cathy Gellis14Just because Rob Bonta decided law didn't matter anymore doesn't mean the rest of us should have to put up with it.
Rootbeercutiebooty5At least someone is still trying to stop this
IDF-backing Trump-backing billionaire David Ellison appoints Israeli Ynon Kreiz to as co-CEO to run his American media empire, which now includes CBS, CNN, etc… www.jta.org/2026/10/02/u...
The Subsequent Mrs. de Winter16BOYCOTT every channel owned by Ellison.
Ian14A lot of your favourite brands and fandoms are about to become Israeli hate propaganda.
Sandy13Authoritarians require full control of the media.
Fawkes News Channel12@cbsnews.com .. the Fascism network.
jes-sayin-jes-axin.bsky.social7This Is how it's done, boys and girls. Learn from the Israelis. Find a Jewish American with extra territorial loyalty to Israel and leverage him.
Just📎Bein🖇Real5This is horrible 😢 The slow death of cbs started with Bari the dagger in the heart is Ynon
Poor Zaz will only get a golden parachute of more than a half-billion dollars, after he spent the past few years cutting Warner Bros to the bone so it could get gobbled up by another company (and retire with a massive pay package). variety.com/2026/film/ne...
Kerouac66635I worked at Discovery off and on during his rise and he was cutting budgets long before WB as a way to show off that he'd be brutal with addressing reckless debt. Number 1 cable shows being run like small community theater projects. Basically, punishing people for success. I hate that guy.
GreenEngineer7The Bari Weiss of WB.
Ryan Jackson: ‘oh god I’ve made so many mistakes.’6On behalf of a lot of people whose lives that guy fucked, most STILL looking for work in the industry he helped decimate, I wish him a happy retirement (from the mortal coil, via chainsaw).
GET OUT OF MY WAY!5His biggest crime will always be throwing COYOTE VS ACME into a vault.
NinjaFrog3It was a great honor to fleece you all, good night, and good luck!
Brian Dunn@briandunn.bsky.social2Be ironic if someone dropped an anvil on him.
Gretchen Felker-Martin PRE ORDER CHIMERA 2.16.27 🍉237An enemy of human joy and self-expression, worse than valueless to society.
👻 Spooky Cat War 👻140Bring back Raised By Wolves, fuckin monsters!
caitlin rose boyle73i hate him i hate him i hate him i hate him i hate him i hate him
daryl "rupert pumpkin" b 🏳️⚧️54he won the game, which is all CEOs seem to be doing anymore, like they don't care if the companies make money, thrive or survive at all, they just want to extract as much as they personally can from it
Cen Galdre13it is so rare that a singular villain can be found outside of Ronald Reagan but if basically anyone near you ever laments the state of animation in America you can point to Zaslov "whatever happened to [Studio]?" Zaslov Killed it "whatever happend to [project]?" Zaslov Killed it
Jesse Hawken12We have to thank Zaslav for The Alto Knights, a film that never would have been made were it not for him
Anthony Cougar MicciOH MY GOOODDD!!!!!!5This is why every thinkpiece about Coyote vs Acme missed the big picture. He never gave a shit about legacy or art or entertainment or any of that, as he’d get unthinkably fat stacks regardless. It’s like saying a kaiju doesn’t understand city planning - it ain’t trying to!
Nate Horsfall3I knew when this guy took power that his only goal was to make WB so bad that it would force another sale where he could walk off with millions. I wish this country didn't reward garbage like this.
Feena van3Fuck you David zaslav for what you did you to the animation industry.
MissGenkiArt3I hope he fucking chokes on his dinner tonight.
If David Ellison had a movie studio in 1969 he'd look at the success of Easy Rider and Bonnie and Clyde and think, what movies can I make that Richard Nixon would like. He's completely unqualified to navigate the cinematic moment we're in with young people fueling the box office.
Bryan Bouton1I see an alternative to the studio system...😂😂😂
NCSteve1Given what happened to "Joe," figuring out what movies Nixon *wouldn't* like appears to have been pretty tricky too, in those days.
SukiDuke1My partner and I went to movies all the time. I love going to the movies. But there is rarely a movie I want to see anymore. Maybe because she and I are sitting in a theatre where there is only a scattering of people. Most seats empty. People aren't going to theatres.
The Cat Food Bandit1Every type of media they take over dies on the vine. Goodbye WB, Paramount, CNN, and CBS. It will be a golden age for the indies.
David Zaslav on leaving Warner Bros. after the formation of Skydance Corporation: “For me, it’s been a great honor to be alongside all of you. I hope you take pride in what you’ve built, what you’ve created, and the role you’ve played in shaping an extraordinary history.”
ethansoniclbpfan.bsky.social107He forgot to mention how he destroyed history and a reputation and is now gonna let someone else continue doing damage
🔞Izzy49"great honor"... in what? Cancelling so many projects from seeing the light of day?
DRAGON FIST!!!!!28Honor? Please. The bastard knows NOTHING about honor.
Melissa19Such an exceptionally puncheable face
Nealer 🇨🇦9Anybody looked into possible industrial sabotage here? Man comes into the role, cans a BUNCH of projects that were nearly done for a "tax write off", destroys the company's reputation, then gets it bought during these troubling times HE caused
Wesley, officially7He got the bag from the merger and he’s DIPPING. Yeah!!! Of course he is!! He did exactly what he set out to do!! He gleefully destroyed Warner Brothers and made so much money doing it. What a spectacular piece of shit.
David Howe8hope this dude slips on a banana peel and falls off a cliff or something
ari 💦🔞🏳️🌈8i hope this little bitch has explosive diarrhea for the rest of his dumbass fucking life 🙄🙄
Night of the Abigail8sure, he wiped his ass with the legacies of thousands of creatives but on the other hand he destroyed billions of dollars in shareholder value so who can say if he's bad or not
moosh 🧜🏼♂️7i hope lebron farts in his face the first time the 76ers play the knicks at the garden.
A.K | give Taika his Ed back! 🏴☠️6Good so can we get ofmd back now he's leaving???
Garyfan6Zaslav. all you've done was cause shows to be incredibly hard to access, you've shelved already finished movies, allowed movies like The Flash to release while having Ezra Miller be involved, and so much more I say Good Riddance!
Queen of Hell-O-Ween 👑🎃🍭 || 9️⃣ Days TIL HBS33Fuck you very, very much
Colin Ent Prod3"great honor" More like great death for entertainment
Warren21000 curses upon you David you cockroach
Tigburr : Pantry Punisher => MFF2Fuck this piece of shit.
David Ellison looked at media and said, "What if we didn't *remake* "Titanic?" What if we *BECAME* the Titanic? Gilded Age 2 making some extremely Greek choices let's see how this goes, what with the $80 billion debt load and the coming AI market correction hooooo buddy!
Soraya Nadia McDonald19Hubris? Folly? Decadence? Gee, I wonder what comes next! lol no spoliers pleez
John Bonazzo3With apologies to the great Christine Baranski, this is Ellison
Kat O’Brien2I’m wondering what happens if a future President (perhaps with Congress) decides there should be rigid rules enforced over how much ownership foreign entities that are frenemies at best should be able to have.
United States of Absurdity2I cannot wait when private equity turns on Oracle and starts selling it for parts. Love a good yard sale!
Let's see which Ellison sibling has the better empire: David or Megan? #Skydance #Paramount #WarnerBros #Annapurna
Omegathenook 🇬🇧 (Don't spoil ForIsle for me until Oct 16th!)2She's also responsible for bringing back Nimona!
perditapongo18.bsky.social1I hope he not ruin paw patrol or something else
btshalflifefan2003.bsky.social1Battle of the Siblings: Corporate Edition
JeffMovieGhost #BlockTheMerger93Megan Ellison helped save Nimona. That alone gives her a lifetime free pass in my eyes.
AidanStar64 🌟🐈⬛️🎃🧙♀️: 30 Years of 96's Sabrina!47I know that this is a meme and that Megan is the better Ellison sibling, but like, her company, Annapurna, isn't as much of a perfect saint as I think some people think it is. www.ign.com/articles/wha...
🎃Retropixel127🎃5Megan did better than David Ellison.
Welp. Either they sell it to a sugar daddy, or Skydance is fucked
Cersei Trannister 🏳️⚧️🏴☠️🦋13If you don't understand the wall street jargon here: skydance offered bonds at an attractive rate, then when they got enough sales to make it look good, they changed the rate to be less attractive hoping people would still buy and the bond buyers are pissed
Anna Smith6I had Warner Bros stock, I saw it go insanely high from the takeover offers and I didn't wait around for this shit show, I sold.
NYT media team clears the bench to take a look at the challenges David Ellison faces as he takes over Warner Bros. Discovery. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/b...
Rick Ellis2The debt's the big thing. The interest rate on some of the bonds they sold is fairly crazy. And overall, having to delay the bond offering probably cost the company another $500 million in additional interest. I think Ellison's estimate of $6 billion in cuts is wildly optimistic
Anthony Soto11) He’s acquiescent to fascists
klassmi.bsky.social1Whatever happened to America’s antitrust laws? The billionaires shouldn’t end up owning everything. 😤
Immune to Boredom1Greatest Challenge: He's a dimwitted failson.
