Tucker Carlson is still in a legal battle with Fox News. His contract says he’s not allowed to do a show anywhere but on Fox until 2025, which would keep him out of the 2024 election (which seems to be Fox’s goal).
For whatever reason, Carlson went ahead and announced that he’s just going to start doing his show on Twitter. He said it’s going to be “the same show,” which obviously violates the contract. Probably, there is something in the contract that says they don’t control his social media postings, and his lawyers think doing the show on a social media site is a way around that. But I don’t think that is going to fly in court.
It is interesting that we are talking about shows being hosted on Twitter now. I am still very unhappy with the fact I am banned from Twitter currently, but I’m also not sure this is a permanent thing, given what Elon Musk is saying about freedom of speech. Every single post he makes about freedom of speech now gets spammed with people asking about me and Nick Fuentes being banned for no reason.
On the issue of Carlson’s announcement, Musk said he hasn’t signed any deals with Tucker, and that the opportunity to create this kind of content and make money from it will be offered to everyone (except me, Nick, Ye, and some select others, perhaps).
On this platform, unlike the one-way street of broadcast, people are able to interact, critique and refute whatever is said.
And, of course, anything misleading will get @CommunityNotes.
I also want to be clear that we have not signed a deal of any kind whatsoever. Tucker is… https://t.co/0TMjuYnKUp

My tolerance for Tucker Carlson is pretty low these days, given that in the last six months, he’s announced that he supports gay marriage, believes that white people who want to defend white heritage are all Nazis, and that he believes in “Chariots of the Gods” style ideas about the angels of the Bible being space aliens. He has also worked hard to promote the State Department’s planned war with the Chinese, including by endorsing the Pentagon’s unbelievably stupid “spy balloon” hoax. (The US government knows that the average American is too stupid to understand that there is nothing a weather balloon could see that a satellite couldn’t see, but Tucker Carlson surely knows that satellites exist, meaning he was lying to his audience on purpose to promote the Joe Biden Taiwan Democracy War AKA Ukraine Part II: Slanted Priorities.)
However, even while me and some of my friends are banned from Twitter, I do have some hope for the platform left in me, and if it takes the shape of a YouTube alternative, that could be very good for the world.
At some point, we are going to need a definite answer from Elon on what the rules are, and what me and Nick (and others) did to be banned.
