Fox News host Tucker Carlson has resumed tweeting only hours after tech billionaire Elon Musk's Twitter takeover became official.
The @TuckerCarlson account tweeted, "We're back," shortly after it was announced on Monday that Musk had completed his $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform. Carlson had not tweeted since his account was temporarily suspended last month for violating platform rules by insisting that tweets referring to Assistant Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine—who is a transgender woman—as a "man" were "true."
Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson We’re back.
During the Monday night edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight, the host celebrated the takeover and speculated that it could be a "pivot point" in history due to Musk believing in "free speech," a stance that he said was "unlike" views held by those in charge of Facebook, Google, Apple and Amazon.
"The reason that today's sale of Twitter is big news—the reason it could turn out to be a pivot point in our history—is that Elon Musk does not agree with the rest of the billionaires in the tech business," Carlson said. "He thinks everyone should be allowed to talk. Including people who disagree with him."
Carlson then quoted and praised a Musk tweet that expressed "hope" that his "worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means."

Tucker is by far the best thing on cable TV.
That’s why he has higher ratings by far than any program on cable. King of Cable he is.
Watch the board of Twitter sour the deal just so that they can throw all of these people off, again. 😏
Yeah but he’s in the middle of making a serious point, then cracks a sarcastic comment and erupts into a silly giggle laugh, which lasts seconds before he immediately turn turns back into a serious demeanor. It’s horribly annoying.
He’d get even bigger ratings if he’d cut out the impromptu laughs.
The board of Twitter, outside of Dorsey, own close to ZERO shares.
And Dorsey supports Musk.
What more you got?
I think you didn’t get what I said, at all.
Or, you have no sense of humor, at all, which is a real possibility.
You are 100% correct.
Fear of personal lawsuit if turning down and stock tanks
Maybe a nervous tick. He might not be consciously doing it, just automatic.
I was banned for 2 yrs. I got my account back today

Nobody’s perfect
Musk stutters
