Not really. Again...
Glenn Greenwald
“This is pathetic of Fox. They fired Carlson, and now their position is: he’s not allowed to speak.
He didn’t go to a competing network. He has no contract with Twitter. He’s just speaking on social media.
And to Fox, that’s cause to threaten to sue him. They want him quiet:”

My understanding of the situation is that they just took him off the air, but they hadn’t fired him. He was still eligible for that $25 million, if he remained until the end of his contract. He decided that he was willing to forego the $25 million to start his own broadcast.
I do recognize that Murdoch pulled him because he was telling too many truths that were too close to those with a vested interest in not having those truths revealed. I also recognize that Fox was acting in bad faith.
I also hope that Tucker gets ahead of it in the long-run. He’s an asset.
They fired him with the agreement that they would compensate him monetarily. The no compete clause in his contract gives them a out on that compensation. This might end up being a win/win situation for Tucker.
So fox is admitting that Twitter is competition?
