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?
The article sounds like there is a partnership, but that could be speculation on their end.
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.
damn I fell for right wing "news" again.
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/
