Presenter Tucker Carlson, who until recently worked for the American broadcaster Fox News, wants to do a show on Twitter in the future. “We will soon be bringing to Twitter a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the past six and a half years,” Carlson announced in a video posted to Twitter on Tuesday.
He did not provide further details about the project.
Carlson claimed in the roughly three-minute clip that the media lied and deliberately withheld facts. “There aren’t many platforms that allow free speech anymore. The last big thing left in the world is Twitter,” he said.
In April, Fox News surprisingly announced the divorce of the right-wing moderator, considered one of the broadcaster’s best-known personalities. The talk show presenter moderated a highly acclaimed evening program there for years. He used this to spread conspiracy theories and false reports and to agitate against minorities.
Fox News has not said why Carlson no longer works for the station. According to American media, the broadcaster threw him out because of various statements.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk acquired Twitter last October for $44 billion. He always swore an “absolute freedom of speech” that should exist in the short message service under his leadership. However, journalists’ accounts have been blocked multiple times for alleged violations of Twitter rules, while blocked users known for right-wing hate speech have been allowed to return to the platform.
Musk responded to Carlson’s announcement with a tweet pointing out that Twitter users could communicate with each other, criticize and refute claims – especially for the latter there is the “Community Notes” feature, to which further information can be added. linked. He also wanted to clarify “that Tucker is subject to the same rules” as any other Twitter user.
Musk concluded his tweet by saying, “I hope many others, especially on the left, also produce content on this platform.”
The entrepreneur has nearly 139 million Twitter followers and is known as an amplifier of right-wing political views.
