Last Free Platform in the World

Tucker Carlson is coming to Twitter.

Two weeks ago, Tucker was fired by Fox News despite having the highest-rated news show in America. The network has yet to give an official explanation for its decision.

Days later, he broke his silence with a video posted exclusively to Twitter, stoking speculation that he’d chosen his next platform.

On Sunday, Axios reported that he was planning a lawsuit against Fox News for breach of contract. The article also claimed Tucker and Elon had spoken about working together.

Yesterday evening, Tucker tweeted a three-minute video with the words, “We’re back.”

He explained his decision in terms of the first amendment: “You can’t have a free society if people aren’t aloud to say what they think is true. Speech is the fundamental prerequisite for democracy […] Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren’t any platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now.”

Elon wrote that Carlson would be treated like any other creator on Twitter.
