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.

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/

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.
