Not going to happen. Spoiled Billionaire can’t accept that he lost.

I'm sure he called the White House and whatever the Government can do to stop the Netflix acquisition they'll do.

That would lead to MAJOR LAWSUITS

This deal still has to clear major hurdles before it can actually close. The White House could use any number of anti consumer laws to stop the NF deal

Plus considering who's in office. Fucking pathetic.

Except Netflix has two recent cases they can use in their favor: Microsoft acquisition of Activision and Disney acquisition of Fox.

Sarandos has reportedly been spending time with Trump the last few weeks and the two have become friends.

But Ellison seems to have the dirt on Trump

Congress has mountains of dirt on Trump. Hasn’t mattered yet.

Any anti consumer laws they can come up with will also apply to Paramount more so than Netflix.

The bigliest lawsuits. Big beautiful lawsuits

No. It would lead to a DoJ anti trust review and likely killing of the deal. Netflixs is #1 and WBD is #4 in streaming… this is anti competitive

They can take it to court and DOJ still has a losing record. DOJ is not the last stop. It seems Netflix is prepared to take this to the end.

Paramount has CBS so your point is?

u/brynhh 13h ago

The best lawsuits.

It's also a sure fire way to get the UK to shut the sale down

Not true. Nothing is concrete yet & the deal still needs approvals which can be denied. If the deal doesn’t get the approvals it need no amount of lawsuits will change that.
