Elon Musk is everywhere—on political stages, in courtroom dramas, on late-night news cycles, and buried deep in Twitter fights. But in Europe’s car dealerships? He’s vanishing.

Television no longer runs on schedules. Viewers are moving away from traditional programming and turning to content that’s on-demand, personalised, and often created by individuals. That shift has made its way into the living room, and right now, it’s showing up most clearly on YouTube. According to Nielsen’s Media Distributor Gauge for April 2025, YouTube held 12.4% of total TV viewing in the U.S. That’s its highest share to date and the third straight month it has led the industry.
