Is there an actual partnership between Tucker Carlson and Twitter? Or did he happen to like Twitter and so picked it as platform?
If there’s a partnership I wonder if Twitter would still be considered a mere conduit, or neutral platform for speech. If not, what would it mean for Twitter’s Section 230 protection?
According to Musk, Twitter does not have a deal with Carlson. “[W]e have not signed a deal of any kind whatsoever. Tucker is subject to the same rules & rewards of all content creators,” Musk tweeted Tuesday.
New Republic is a right wing rag, so they probably don’t know the difference, and if they did they’d want to paint it in as “positive” light as they could.

Seems like speculation. Variety has a comment from Musk in its coverage. https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/tucker-carlson-launching-twitter-show-fox-news-firing-1235607928/
Thanks, I was suspicious since the claim wasn’t backed by anything in the other article.
Given Elon’s response to Variety, it sounds like there’s still at least one good lawyer or compliance specialist at Twitter.
oh I see
The article sounds like there is a partnership, but that could be speculation on their end.

Don’t think it’s a right wing rag, at least not any more…
damn I fell for right wing “news” again.
