On March 18, 2023, Jeremy Boreing, the co-founder of Daily Wire, made a significant announcement regarding his departure from the position of co-CEO. According to a report from Axios, Boreing expressed his desire to shift his focus towards creative endeavors and transition into an advisory role within the organization.
Jeremy Boreing is recognized as an American political activist, producer, and screenwriter, having established Daily Wire in 2015 alongside Ben Shapiro. Before his venture into Daily Wire, he was part of Coattails Entertainment, collaborating with notable figures like Kurt Schemper, Joel David Moore, and Zachary Levi. Following the closure of Coattails Entertainment, Boreing co-founded Declaration Entertainment, an independent film studio, together with Bill Whittle.
In addition to his contributions to Daily Wire, Boreing has a background in the film industry. At 46 years old, he has produced and co-written the psychological thriller “Spiral”(2007) and the comedy “Etienne!”(2009). Currently, he hosts the program “Daily Wire Backstage,”where he engages with fellow personalities such as Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan. Furthermore, Boreing contributes his insights as a guest columnist for platforms like Newsbusters and Big Hollywood.
Transition in Leadership at Daily Wire
Since 2019, Jeremy Boreing and Caleb Robinson have shared the responsibilities as co-CEOs of Daily Wire. With Boreing’s recent decision to step down from his leadership role, Robinson will assume the position of sole CEO, guiding the company’s future direction.
Jeremy Boreing’s Admiration for Elon Musk
Throughout his career, Boreing has emerged as a staunch supporter of billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk. In a May 2022 interview on TimCast IRL, he discussed the launch of “Jeremy’s Razors,”a new brand by Daily Wire that arose in response to Harry’s Razors withdrawing its advertisements from the company.
To promote this new venture, Boreing orchestrated a multi-million dollar marketing campaign intended to humorously challenge Harry’s Razors. The campaign featured a provocative video in which Boreing is seen igniting a pack of Harry’s Razors at the Daily Wire headquarters, which quickly gained traction across social media platforms, amassing millions of views.
During his conversation with Tim Pool, Boreing mentioned the flamethrower used in the video was a genuine product from Musk’s The Boring Company. He humorously remarked:
“It’s a real flamethrower. It’s not the smartest idea I ever had … but it’s definitely the most bada*** idea I’ve ever had,”he joked. “I definitely believe that if Elon Musk will retweet my razor company, I will sell even more bajillions of razor blades.”
Boreing also elaborated on his admiration for Musk, stating:
“Actually, this will be the most kiss-a*** thing that I say on the show: Elon Musk is the greatest living American. He’s the most important person in the country because he has an affirmative vision for the future of the country.”
While Boreing acknowledged that he might not agree with all of Musk’s viewpoints, he praised Musk’s forward-thinking perspective, stating:
“He’s not one of these Boomer lefties who’s still fighting the cultural revolution of the 1960s… and he’s not a Boomer conservative who’s just talking about how great things used to be.”
Under Boreing’s leadership, Daily Wire has transformed from a modest news platform into a significant media conglomerate valued at over a billion dollars, an impressive leap from its initial seed funding of just $4.7 million.
