Elon Musk Breaks Silence On Tucker Carlson Launching Show On Twitter: “Tucker is subject to the same rules and rewards of all content creators”
Elon Musk broke his silence on the bombshell news that Tucker Carlson will relaunch his show On Twitter. Musk said he did not sign a deal with Tucker and that Tucker will be paid like everyone else, through subscriptions and via advertising revenue share.
That means Tucker Carlson has some serious cojones because Rupert Murdoch and Fox News will not pay him his $20 million a year. So he is taking a massive risk. Tucker did put Fox News on notice before he made his announcement by asking for documents from the network’s lawyers and accusing the Fox of fraud.
Fox News will have to tread carefully because if they are seen as trying to silence Tucker the backlash will be severe. Musk said:
“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 subject to the same rules & rewards of all content creators.
Saw this .... El Paso ... 🤬

Texas National Guard is just watching them cross illegally. Look at the big gap in the razor wire, 65 ft away from the national guard.… pic.twitter.com/MPTSq2NLss— Oreo Express Normal/Not Mentally Ill (@OreoExpress) May 10, 2023
