If he did, I can see the next few things following immediately after:

Rebranding to X News
Adding the news segments as videos on X (formerly Twitter)
Pushing the news on users, much like he pushes his own Tweets
Dropping cable television broadcasting because the FCC and regulations go against his "free speech absolutist" values.
