    Elon Musk has been talking with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson about possibly working together, according to a new report from Axios. The news comes after Carlson was abruptly pulled off the air by Fox, despite hosting the most popular cable news show in the U.S.

    “Axios has learned that Carlson and Elon Musk had a conversation about working together, but didn't discuss specifics,” Axios reported on Sunday.

    Musk was interviewed on Carlson’s show in mid-April, where the two seemed to genuinely like each other.
    Musk said thiis
    Twitter CEO Elon Musk said late Tuesday that the platform had not signed a formal deal with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who earlier in the day announced plans to launch a new show on Twitter.

    “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,” Musk said on the social media platform.
    What he never said was, i have not spoken to him......

    Yup, Axios are the original source claiming there was a meeting, but offer nothing in support of it. But regardless, Pritch said he saw a video where Carlson himself said it...

    You might want to read again from how i read it he never said it came from a video that i seen?
    only that only Carlson announced he was going to twitter on a video. with earlier that carlson and musk are a match made in heaven.

    Twitter ain't what it was. When I opened it this morning the first few posts were from RWNJs: the likes of Marjorie Taylor Green and Dan Bongino etc etc. I used to see them only rarely but now somehow the algorithm has decided I need the thoughts of these cretins to start my day. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

    It is an interesting development to get this sort of content natively on twitter. It could really elevate it to another level. So well done to Musk if he pulls that off.

    Comments I've seen since.
    Carlson's following are cable news viewers. That demographic is generally elderly and may not be interested in learning new tricks just to view Twitter.
    On FOX Carlson was not challenged on anything he said. Twitter is not like that - at all. Depending how thin skinned he is he may not find Twitter much to his liking.

    As always, we'll see.
    i am open to correction but i dont believe he was replying to you or your question.

    Musk has never denied they have met or discussed it despite it beeing widely reported that they had.

    instead he said this.
    lon Musk, in a Tuesday night tweet, stressed that "we have not signed a deal of any kind" with Tucker Carlson. "Tucker is subject to the same rules & rewards of all content creators. Rewards means subscriptions and advertising revenue share (still working on software needed for latter), which is a function of how many people subscribe and the advertising views associated with his content."

    Pritch claimed that Tucker and Musk are working together to produce a show on twitter. Working together. He replied to sugilite that he saw 'an (sic) video announcement by Carlson himself', sugilites post was a response (without quote) to Pritch's post. So it doesn't take a long stretch of the bow to come to the conclusion he was most likely talking about the 'Musk and Tucker working together' statement. Unless it was some unspoken announcement he was talking about...

    But hey, seeing how it was Pritch who made the posts we'll wait to see what he has to say.

    Yes he did, it was widely reported Musk had had meetings with Carlson,
    Musk despite having multiple opportunities to deny this meeting or meetings, has not said he hadn't had a meeting or discussion. Which is kind of odd if he hadn't, he if fact skirted around the subject completely.

    Yes you mean like carlson announcement he was going to twitter on video.

    yeah it could be Like an announcement Carlson was going to twitter...


    Tucker bangs on about the media lying and twitter being the only big place left for free speech hilarious.....
    On December 15, 2022, Twitter suspended the accounts of ten journalists who have covered the company and its owner, Elon Musk. They included reporters Keith Olbermann, Steven L. Herman, and Donie O'Sullivan, and journalists from The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, and The Intercept
    yet carlson is caught in his own lies

    Wow Husenberg, CNN, The New York Post, you really are wearing your true rainbow colours with pride that you truly are a mainstream media brain washed sheep


    It's no wonder the polls are so close in NZ, half the nation can't think for themselves, they need the government sponsored mainstream media to tell them how to think

    Carlson's statement was more implied than coming right out and saying it. Lots of headlines said it for him. To the point Musk stated that nothing had been signed. Mind, Musk has tried to pul out of deals before.

    Examples:

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/techn...ay/ar-AA1b0gqa

    https://www.thestreet.com/technology...tucker-carlson

    Following Carlson's second speech, the one about truth in news, he has no sense of irony apparently Musk tweeted "nothing has been signed". That indicates talks were planned or were happening.

    Musk has apparently appointed a new woman CEO to run twitter.

    Word on the street is that her first move will be to increase the character limit from 140 to 1,000,000 😂😂😂

    So Carlson didn't say a deal was made, just that he was going to twitter. I've got that correct so far? Then some people concluded from what Tucker said that him and Musk were working together? And this got reported on, widely. And then Musk comes out and says 'I want to be clear that we have not signed a deal of any kind whatsoever'. Damn they must be in cahoots huh, that's got to be the only possibility.

    No that's an interpretation, not a firm indication.

    I'm happy to be proven wrong, I honestly don't care as I'm not defending either of them. In fact I wouldn't trust either of them as far as I could boot them. But at the moment there is nothing concrete at all to go around making statements like 'Musk and Tucker Carlson are working together to produce a right wing nut job/fantasy programme of some sort on Twitter' and trying to pass them off as fact.

    Like Musk said there is no deal, Tucker Calson has just under 7.4 million subscribers and growing, This amount of clicks from advertising would make him millions per month in advertising revenue by putting his own content on Twitter so long as it meets the regulations of not advocating violence, anyone can do this
    left or right political leanings as long as you have the subs, you don't need a contract deal either,Tucker has some great insights against the system, I look forward to seeing his content.

    Elon Musk has appointed a new CEO of twitter

    What does this mean?

    Twitter is now financial stable

    Who is Linda Yaccarino ?

    A hard bitch that cut her teeth in the corporate advertising world

    Will she tell Elon to fuck off?

    No, he is still a large shareholder but she is the adult in the room.

    Who cares,it's a biker forum!

    True, but all the naysayers in the early post of this thread said Twitter was going to die, you have one the worlds most experienced advertising executives about to grow Twitters revenue massively, the investors that came in with Musk to purchase Twitter are going to be making a killing when Twitter is re publicly listed on the share market, the naysayers and doomers on this site will still be broke boys and broke old men.
