Tucker, your message truly resonated with me. It's not just journalists who face dismissal for speaking the truth, but scientists as well. I have been dismissed three times within the last three years for doing what a scientist needs to do: QUESTIONING THINGS.

During Carlson’s announcement on Tuesday, he criticized media networks for withholding facts and expressed his belief that Twitter is the only remaining platform that allows freedom of speech. Carlson asserted the importance of free speech in a democracy, and with Elon Musk’s endorsement, his upcoming show is set to gather a significant following on the platform.
Finally, Musk hopes that many others, especially those from the left, will follow suit by becoming content creators on Twitter. This move opens up the platform for a wider range of voices and opinions, making it the ultimate destination for honest and free discourse. The announcement of Tucker Carlson’s show coming to Twitter is a significant development in the world of media and politics, and it is expected that it will generate a lot of interest from those who feel that the mainstream media has failed to provide unbiased reporting.
