With an amazing change in the event, the investor consortium made a paramount global bid of $ 13.5 billion. As reported in the variety on Friday afternoon, 11 -hour proposals argue about the paramount’s future and the competition in the media industry. In addition, a specific player behind the bid was kept secret, but for two obvious clues.
The investor consortium Project Rise Partners has submitted the last $ 13.5 billion cash -off for Paramount Global and challenged existing transactions with Skydance Media. The group pays attention to the advantage of the bid compared to the $ 8 billion Sky Dance offer, and focuses on creating a trustee steward ship rhemma at the company’s Board of Directors, so it is legal to the paramount board of directors. I sent a letter. Details of new proposals are $ 19 per class B, 27 % more than $ 15 per Skydance, and $ 2 billion to Paramount’s balance sheet.
Unexpectedly developed because Skydance Media and Redbird Capital Partners supported by Tech billionaire Larry Ellison have confirmed the acquisition of Paramount. Existing sky dance transactions are explained as a robust financial agreement, but investor groups are excellent here because of their excellent cash. Mainly, cash provides immediate profits to shareholders and contrasts the complexity and potential risks related to the proposal of Sky Dance.
The strange thing about this 11 -hour bidding is who is behind it. Investor Consortium itself calls “Project Rise Partners”, but variety may have missed some interesting details.
“… According to the sources, Project Rise Partners is supported by Titans in the industry comparable to Larry Ellison, and includes at least one of the most wealthy men in the world and a company partner who is a pioneer in satellite industry. Masu.”
Who is regarded as “the world’s most wealthy man”, a “pioneer of satellite industry”?
The Iron Mask is now the world’s wealthy man and is a net asset of $ 433.9 billion as of January 2025. In fact, he has become the first person in history, exceeding $ 400 billion of net assets. (Compatibility of $ 35 billion) and Tesla. The mask has also revolutionized the satellite industry through Starlink Satellite Contellation, which aims to provide Spacex’s innovative new leather, especially global high -speed Internet access. MUSK has a dramatic reduction in launch costs and develops a reusable rocket technology that designs advanced satellites with direct abilities, and has a global communication with a transformation of cosmic technology and connection. A new frontier is opened for connection.
In addition to the “Mission: Impossible” movie franchise, “Star Trek” is probably the largest property owned by Paramount. Owning dates back to the 1966 “Star Trek: Original Series”. This was created by the Desilu Productions acquired later by GULF+Western, the predecessor of Paramount Pictures. When CBS and Viacom (Paramount’s parent company) split in 2006, CBS retained the rights of “STAR TREK” TV franchise, and Paramount has maintained the right of the movie. The two entities were reconstructed in 2019 under Viacomcbs (now Paramount Global) and integrated the rights of the “Star Trek” franchise under one corporate roof.
It is interesting to note that this is not the first time that Elon Musk would consider taking over Paramount with the Star Trek property. In fact, William Shaatner, the highest Star Trek captain in history, may have been the first person to have an idea in X last August. Since then, “Make Star Trek Again”, a theater in the Donald Trump “Make American Great Again” campaign, has been a scream for a rally for a franchise fan who was disappointed during the Stark’s Alex Kurzman era. 。

The mask himself was not shy about his fanboy’s enthusiasm against Starck. In fact, he has been very public about it.
It is not from KURTZMAN TREK

The Star Trek was named as Musk as one of the great innovators of human history, especially the Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 and Episode 4. In fact, there are even toxic attacks from the cast members of the former Star Trek of the mask. Perhaps it was part of this small pushback that promoted the potential play of the mask paramount. And for many fans before Kurtsuman, they will be very pleased that Musk succeeded in the hostile acquisition of property.
At the time of this writing, there was no confirmation of the identity of “the world’s wealthy man” and “pioneers in the satellite”. Everyone may have an effective theory, but everyone has a potentially media sector competition for those who have bid for 11 hours with this eye. We hope that we can reconstruct the situation and succeed in making Star Trek again wonderful.
