Tucker: “There aren’t many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world is Twitter.”

“Starting soon we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter.
“We’ll bring some other things too, which we’ll tell you about. But for now we’re just grateful to be here. Free speech is the main right that you have.
“Without it, you have no others. See you soon.”
This is brilliant !
HE HAD 3 MILLION WATCHERS ON FOX
NOW he’ll have up to 70 million if his one 2 minute tweet watch is repeatable…hint..IT IS
No mention of the legal ramifications, but I’d be surprised if Musk hasn’t promised to finance a legal defence of Tucker’s free speech rights. Can the Murdochs be dumb enough engage in a long, drawn out legal battle to silence the nation’s foremost political commentator in a presidential election year? Probably. They were dumb enough to fire him in the first place!

ELON MUSK — On this platform, unlike the one-way street of broadcast, people are able to interact, critique and refute whatever is said.

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.
Rewards means subscriptions and advertising revenue share (coming soon), which is a function of how many people subscribe and the advertising views associated with the content.
I hope that many others, particularly from the left, also choose to be content creators on this platform.
No deal does not mean no money. Elon is implying above that he has not entered into a contract with Tucker. But there must have been a little cash incentive somewhere because it was just a week ago we were being told Tucker had multi-year offers upwards of a hundred million dollars to join other networks. Does anyone really believe Tucker went to work for Elons Twitter for free?
Here is a pile of money worth a 100 million dollars. And here is a pile of Goodwill and friendly handshakes. Which one will you take?
