That’s the thing that’s confused me a bit. Project 2025 definitely calls for the dismantling and privatization of NOAA, but I didn’t see anything specifically mentioning AccuWeather. IIRC the CEO of AccuWeather said it’d be way too costly for them to pick up all of the responsibilities they depend on NOAA for. At this point, I’d fully expect Musk to say his companies can handle it.

Every time I see him with his kid, I can’t help but think of the Insufferable comic where the dude’s got baby body armor

On the other end, you’ve got billionaire Jeff Lawson rescuing The Onion from private equity hell. I count their revived print subscription as one of the best things I’ve spent money on recently, considering it used to be free.
