According to sources inside ABC, Musk’s vision for the show clashed with the network’s desire for something more digestible for mainstream audiences. “Elon had grand ideas about space colonization, hyperloop cities, and AI symphonies,” said one producer. “But ABC wanted more of an American Idol vibe with people crying about their dreams to go to Mars. Elon wasn’t having it.”
Predictably, ABC has denied Musk’s claims, though the damage was already done. The network quickly released a statement, trying to downplay the incident: “While we had hoped to collaborate with Mr. Musk on an exciting and groundbreaking project, creative differences led to the unfortunate decision to end the partnership. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
Translation? “Elon Musk is more trouble than he’s worth, and we’d rather cut our losses now.”
But no amount of PR spin could keep the story from snowballing. Musk’s legions of devoted fans took to social media to trash the network, accusing ABC of squandering the chance to work with a modern-day genius. Some even called for a boycott of the network, launching the hashtag #BanABC, which quickly trended on X (formerly Twitter).
Meanwhile, Musk’s critics delighted in his latest meltdown. “Of course Musk couldn’t handle it,” one detractor tweeted. “The guy’s ego is bigger than SpaceX’s rocket boosters. He probably wanted to film the whole thing on Mars next week.”
With his ABC deal now dead, the question on everyone’s mind is: What’s next for Elon Musk’s space show? Will it ever see the light of day? According to some insiders, Musk has already started shopping the idea around to streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and even his own company, Tesla Vision (yes, apparently Tesla has a streaming service now—don’t ask).
Given Musk’s unpredictable nature, it wouldn’t be surprising if he took the show to a completely different level. Rumors are swirling that Musk has approached Amazon’s Jeff Bezos about producing Elon’s Space Odyssey through Amazon Prime Video, setting the stage for what could be the biggest tech-giant collaboration since Apple and Microsoft buried the hatchet.
