🎬 Skydance x Paramount: The $8 Billion Merger That Shook Hollywood, Wall Street & Washington

Skydance Media and Paramount Global just closed an $8B mega-merger — and it’s about way more than movies.

📊 By the Numbers:
• $8B deal size
• $2.4B payout to Shari Redstone
• $1.5B cash infusion to cut debt
• $2B projected cost savings
• $28B post-merger valuation
• $3.5B public float → S&P 500 danger zone

⚖️ Why It Matters:
• Hollywood consolidation at historic scale
• Wall Street pressure as index funds may dump $PSKY
• Washington politics in play: FCC split vote, DEI concessions, Trump settlement controversy

This isn’t just a merger — it’s the convergence of content, capital, and control.
