Former Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson has announced he is relaunching his talk show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Twitter. In a three-minute video posted to his account on Tuesday, Carlson claimed that news outlets are "misleading" viewers, and that Twitter is the last big platform in the world that allows free speech.
This assertion itself is somewhat misleading, as it conflates lack of content moderation with free speech. The First Amendment only prohibits the U.S. government from making laws restricting free speech. It does not stop privately owned social media companies from moderating content published on their platform.
"Starting soon, we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter," said Carlson.
It is currently unclear who "we" refers to, though it is unlikely to involve Fox News. Carlson was dismissed from the network late last month, and his show rebranded to Fox News Tonight. Fox News stated that the separation was "mutually" agreed upon, however a New York Times report found Carlson's departure was the result of a sequence of events triggered by an alarming text message he sent concerning violence and race.
In response to Carlson's announcement, Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted that the company had not signed any deal with the conservative commentator, and that he is "subject to the same rules & rewards of all content creators."
"Rewards means subscriptions and advertising revenue share (coming soon), which is a function of how many people subscribe and the advertising views associated with the content," said Musk. The billionaire announced in February that Twitter will share ad revenue with Twitter Blue subscribers, but this feature has not yet been implemented.
"I hope that many others, particularly from the left, also choose to be content creators on this platform," Musk continued.
Thousands of left-leaning Twitter users left the platform in the lead-up to Musk's takeover last year. Even prior to this exodus, Twitter's own research found its algorithm preferences and amplifies right-leaning content.
More in Twitter
This is actually brilliant. By Musk saying that he is subject to the same "content creator" rules he has in effect freed Carlson from any non-compete clause in his contract as he is now just an individual posting on Twitter, like you or me.

DeleteBooooooooooo, Dude Carlson is fascist.
DeleteI doubt fox’s legal team is gonna see it that way.
DeleteFunny I read Musk knows nothing about this. Who knows but they deserve each other.
ReplyDeleteI like Tucker, miss his show
ReplyDeleteAre you a fan of Elon Musk you can now send him a direct message now
Deletehttps://www.facebook.com/people/Elon-musk-fanpage/100092482569104/?mibextid=LQQJ4d
why ? He's so fascist !
Deletethere are so many people who will lie to you in a more entertaining way
DeleteOught to give Musk a boost.
ReplyDeleteI personally like Tucker, he is an honest man
ReplyDeleteIs today say opposite the truth day?
DeleteCould you be more specific?
Deletef’n lie
DeleteThe word you used is "honest" when he was called out for lying. There are many text messages.
DeleteI looked at your time-line and realized that nothing I say will get through to you hence I will say only thing that you understand: YOU ARE A MORON.
Deleteyes
Deletethe guy who’s texts leaked where he straight up said he was lying and his fans were morons. Guess he is honest at least behind closed doors…
Deletetroll
DeleteJust ask him, he’ll tell you so! 😂🤣😂😂
DeleteFox literally used the defense in court that no one would believe what he says....
DeleteLike the days in December, SHORT and CLOUDED!
DeleteWhat????
DeleteJust ask George Santos!
DeleteHe’s still under Fox Contract till 2025?
ReplyDeleteless dangerous way as well.
Deletethe man lied to you, admitted he lied to you for financial reasons and mocked you as an audience....and you profess allegiance. Ouch.
DeleteNobody here is pledging allegiance to anyone… Antiwar Tucker Carlson has taken a principled stance on many issues that the Democratic Party once stood for. Since when does the left support the international banking cartels, Big Pharma, Nuclear War, the military industrial complex and the permanent security state or lifelong bureaucrats directly responsible for the deaths of our civil rights leaders and a sitting POTUS in JFK? It's absolute madness and the definition of hubris when people can't put their ego's aside because they carry a bias against the messenger of such information. I went many years without particularly liking Carlson, but when he's right on certain issues I'm not going to pretend like he isn't.
DeleteWho?
ReplyDeleteYou dude <--- lives under a rock.
Deletefirst day on the internet?
DeleteSo what's the betting that if Carlson's Twitter videos prove popular, Musk will institute a policy whereby they can only be watched in full if people cough up for a blue tick? 😈
ReplyDeleteIf you are watching him on Fox you are paying for that as part of your cable bill. So what does it matter if Musk charges a subscription to watch certain content?
DeleteGiven Twitter has reputedly been haemorrhaging money [surprisingly enough, advertisers tend to shy away from barely moderated "anything goes" platforms], if Musk did institute stuck a policy, it might give some breathing space without having to fire a significant chunk of what's left of the staff (with over 4/5 dismissed since the takeover).
Deletepoor people simping for capitalism
DeleteYou mean the way Networks demand you pay a fee to someone in order to watch their content?
DeleteElon and Twitter are dying for attention. This will give them a boost.
ReplyDelete…unfortunately, Carlson panders to a fascist extremist audience, who he despises.
Giving him a public platform will only further damage America.
You watch too much CNN. The only person who has damaged America was dinosaur that took over after Trump who runs a crime family doing illegal business trades with China. And a president who's let in more migrants than both of Obama's presidencies. Now ain't that something. The democrats the party for the corrupted and communists.
DeleteYou must get fed your opinions from Tucker Carlson, and get your knowledge of history from memes.
Deletehow long did it take you to google that top response? Your servers must be running slow. Anyways I don't want to take time from your busy schedule of censoring practicing doctors from your platform. I can't believe you have the actual nerve to call people fascicsts when you are employed by google😂
DeleteDoing research on things is only bad if you’re a republican.
DeleteWe aren’t censoring anyone.
I wish I could say that I was surprised that you have no clue what fascism is.
But I can’t.
You should google fascism.
we aren't censoring anyone? You must be living under a rock or the boot of Sundar. Maybe you should use your own crappy platform to clue yourself in
Deletehttps://www.reuters.com/article/us-google-censorship-idUSBRE85H0S220120618
Remember when your platform used to have a slogan about not being evil? I wonder where that went?
Twitter Twit
ReplyDeleteYet another reason to not be on Twitter anymore...since it truly has become a platform for twits.
ReplyDeleteHis show never died for it to need “reviving” —he is #1 by far… Stenography outlets for the transnational banking cartels and private equity firms, always seem to use a disparaging choice of words to describe those who speak the truth. The 1996 Telecommunications Act destroyed journalism. I’m glad he’s going to be communicating directly with the people on Twitter (without corrupt Fox News executives getting in his way).
ReplyDeleteNo thank you!
ReplyDelete"My creature – it's alive! It's ALIIIIIIIVE!" (maniacal laughter)
ReplyDeleteHe is bypassing the Mega Brand Trump built as a Twitter killer…. Truth Social is lame social
ReplyDeleteHe shouldn't be allowed on Twitter or anywhere else
ReplyDeletehttps://t.me/+Yco7UIaX0Gg2ZTk0
Deleteokay comrade Castro
DeleteHeil Hitler!!
Deleteok nazi
DeleteI believe he is a US citizen so he can pretty much go where ever he wants to. And if he want to be on Twitter that’s his right.
DeleteNo one else would go near him!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteAre 2 twits better than 1??
ReplyDeleteThese people are like cancers. They won’t go away.
ReplyDeleteWhere all of the other white nationalists, neo-nazis, and American Taliban hang out. #OnBrand
ReplyDeletewhat a beautifully written NPC dialogue tree!
DeleteHe look government funded Elon hiring Fox New dork who use to wear bow ties on CNN
ReplyDeleteThe fascist info channel. Want to help the 4th Reich evolve help tucker bring down r society.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, the usual crybabies are already triggered.
ReplyDeleteWho will pay his new lawsuits?
ReplyDeleteSo he's moving a boring alt right whack job show to twitter, what great news!
ReplyDeleteso boring that he has the best record in American history. You liberals are part of a religious cult that don’t believe in reality only feeling.
Deleteso according to you I can't find the lil preppy con artist boring? The reality is he lied to you repeatedly for months and you believed it because you're not so bright.
Deletebest record of what? Most networks fired from in a career?
Deleteimagine what you will say when you hear about this Biden fella. You will have a field day
DeleteFigures, no fact checking there so he will have free reign to make up everything he can to continue his propaganda of lies like he's been doing all along.
ReplyDeleteWhat lies lmao. Oh because Tucker is afraid to tell the truth and nazi's like you can't handle it hahahaha. Typical liberals.
Delete🤮🤮🤮
ReplyDeleteNo one cares, stop reporting this nonsense.
ReplyDeleteIs his cult even capable of creating a Twitter account? 😆
ReplyDeletehttps://t.me/+Yco7UIaX0Gg2ZTk0
DeleteI’m wondering if the folks he appeals to are savvy also. But maybe they’ll learn. If not from Tucker then from the comments
Deleteyou made it on Mashable😂😂
Deleteso did you
DeleteI thought the communists were leaving Twitter
DeleteEasy as Twitter
DeleteThe Human Boat Shoe is back!
ReplyDeleteWhere common sense goes to die

ReplyDeleteStupid idiot
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke, someone tell him to go home, the world’s had enough of his shittalking
ReplyDeleteAwww liberals just hate hearing the truth. At least Tucker has a backbone and isn't afraid to step down. He talked the truth about the big pharma and what do you know. One of Fox's biggest investors was the big pharma and Fox cut him off.
Deletetoo bad he doesn’t own a brain
DeleteDon't care he's a proven liar and will say whatever he can to keep his right wing followers happy. Spreading conspiracy theories, racism and other crap. Says something about Elon Musk too.
ReplyDeleteFJB
