Elon Musk could become an investor in Paramount Skydance as the company moves towards completing its takeover of Warner Bros Discovery, potentially putting the billionaire on the ownership side of the company behind HBO just weeks before a documentary about him reaches US cinemas.
Paramount executives have discussed asking Musk to join a syndicate of equity investors, according to people familiar with the matter. No agreement has been announced, and the size of any potential investment is unknown.
