‘That can’t be good’: Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch spark reaction by sitting together at Super Bowl
Spotted among the many famous faces at the Super Bowl — a mix of sports stars, actors, models, musicians, politicians — were two people of particular note.
Not First Lady Jill Biden or Damar Hamlin. Not Kevin McCarthy or Rob Gronkowski.
Sitting together and chatting shortly after Rihanna’s halftime show were media mogul Rupert Murdoch, owner of the Fox empire – this year’s broadcaster of the Super Bowl – and Elon Musk, owner of Twitter, SpaceX and Tesla.
As the fans waited for play to restart and the footage was broadcast, commentator Kevin Burkhardt – a Fox employee – noted the “brilliant minds in that box”, while acknowledging that Mr Murdoch pays his salary.
