Tucker Carlson announces new show on Twitter. Elon Musk says there’s no deal ‘of any kind whatsoever’
LA TimesFired Fox News provocateur Tucker Carlson dropped a video Tuesday on Twitter announcing that he will do a new version of his old political commentary program on the platform. “Soon we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last 6½ years to Twitter,” Carlson said in the nearly three-minute video. See you soon.” Twitter’s billionaire owner, Elon Musk, tweeted that the social media platform has “not signed a deal of any kind whatsoever” with Carlson. “I hope that many others, particularly from the left, also choose to be content creators on this platform.” Carlson, whose inflammatory comments about immigration and race made him a target of critics and radioactive to brand-name advertisers, had the most-watched prime-time show on Fox News, the leading cable news network.
