In preparation for 2024 CTH now has a strong source arsenal of very specific contacts. I can say with certainty that Tucker Carlson publicly expresses significant support for Elon Musk and his Twitter endeavor; however, privately Tucker says he doesn’t trust Musk one bit.
What’s the motive for the two faces? Easy, Carlson is launching his own platform, and he is publicly positioning for the largest populist audience, while avoiding the harder road of speaking true, yet unpopular opinions. Tucker isn’t the only voice doing that, and (short term) Musk is benefiting, but watch out. Take that reality as you will, but it’s a truthful baseline.
[Trending Politics] – Tucker Carlson is launching a new streaming dedicated to his brand of brash conservatism, one that is expected to rival the online efforts of Fox News and other major players in center-right news circles.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the new service, which launches Monday, is expected to cost $9 per month, or $72 per year, and offer content from Carlson and other reporters that builds on lengthy programs he has been freely releasing for months on X. Sources close to the project expect up to five shows to be ready by mid-week, a combination of interviews, short-form videos and monologues. Named the Tucker Carlson Network, the new outlet will have a red pill as its logo, a wink to conservatives who regularly use the “Matrix” reference to imply a greater understanding of truth over misinformation.
Like most online outlets, some programming on the Tucker Carlson Network will remain free and ad-supported while other interviews and monologues will be available exclusively to subscribers without ads. Carlson was taking sign-ups for the service at his own site, www.tuckercarlson.com, as of Monday morning. (read more)
I’m sorry I just can’t afford yet another subscription.
Just my opinion:
Always follow the money!
I wonder what’s the backbone of the Carlson network. If X goes belly up because of the expense, that would leave the TCN as a supposed free speech hard hitting news outlet. That’s the hype. I’ll reserve judgment on Tucker til we see what it’s all about.
I personally think that the government has its dirty hands in his new venture. They have their hands in every news outlet.
TCN could very well be
The CONservative Network.
Other than the CTH, and a few others like Gateway Pundit, I trust none of them.
So, you’re solisiptic then, Citizen817?
And that makes you a sesquipedalian then, Richard.
🙂
And he has wordnesia.
If so, he’s following in the footsteps of William F. Buckley.
Seeing as who his dad is I believe you are correct, VoA, PBS, CIA bank. Plus Tucker is worth about $550 mill in his own right. Not to mention splitting the Swanson fortune from his step mother.
If he is worth that much cash he is is in a great position to help Trump out in some major capacity for the good of the country . I think of Steve Bannon and RAV for example.
So, I guess he won’t be Trump’s VP then, huh? Just an observation. (I don’t think either seriously considered it.)
Citizen1984.
My very first thought when Sundance posted this article: Ted Turner. The guy who brought us CNN.
I will never pay to hear someone con me. I choose to donate monthly to this magnificent Treehouse because Sundance never lies, his information has borne out time after time and he truly wants us to share in his knowledge.
Tucker started out with a lie! Public face loves Musk; Private face hates Musk; etc.
Tucker and Elon are both professional Cons. Follow them at your peril.
I like Musk, I want to trust him but I think he depends too much on government contracts to trust him past 50%. That’s actually a high trust percentage for me. I have hope for him. But suspicious cat visits me on a regular basis for chats.
Musk brought us the Electric Car. Nuff said.
That is what Rush Limbaugh said
And Limbaugh was best friends with the despicable Bush family. What’s your point?
If Elon operates in a way that bothers conservatives, please check out what he has to go through at Space-X. The government has slow waked his development of the Starship even though it is needed for the ill-fated Artemis mission to the moon. The have caused major red tape issues with his advance Starling satellites. IMHO, he bucks the powers that be as far as he can and be pragmatic.
The Starship launches were delayed months by of all entities, the Fish and Wildlife assessment of Boca Chica launch complex. Also the FAA inserted themselves into it.
So it is a dance of the unwilling participant. It is amazing the frontal assault Musk faces from the Biden administration.
NASA has been run by good old boys since its inception. The range is run by the MIC, east coast and west coast. Nothing launches anywhere unless the MIC is involved period. The whole apparatus is allergic to innovation which might put huge segments of their many businesses out of business. On top of that, all designs are by committee. This is why the space station went through four multi year design processes. This is why the shuttle was designed to be all things to all comers, a space truck, an airplane, a glider and a passenger carrier.
Musk entered this aging organization with innovative designs, a trim, talented team of engineers and billions of NASA seed money. They were not required to create the mountains of paperwork NASA required of shuttle. However, they WERE required to abide by range safety regulations and restrictions, which Musk’s team initially ignored resulting in a near fatal fire on launch of one vehicle and a subsequent launch of a second vehicle that violated range safety standards. Musk’s team rectified both and has subsequently abided by range safety standards. Prior to Musk, violating range safety for anything was unheard of.
Having launches delayed by months and years is not unusual in the business, these are not airplanes. Many organizations on earth, in air space and in low earth orbit are involved and the safety constraints are both high and critical to the safety of all. Rocket juice is deadly to breath, it is readily combustible, corrodes metals and is highly poisonous to all life on earth.
The FAA is ALWAYS involved in launches EVERYWHERE. So is the coast guard. Both organizations have a primary function of keeping civilians OUT of the danger of fallout from vehicle launches. Miles and miles are carved out of the normal flight and boating areas. Their secondary task is to prevent any vehicles from aborting or otherwise preventing the launch. The fastest sortie I ever witnessed was the takedown of a small private plane within 3o minutes of launch.
I have no doubt that Biden’s administration is exacerbating all of the above with respect to Musk’s launches, but, let’s be real about the business SpaceX is in. It is not child’s play to launch a spacecraft into space, the most harsh environment humans function in. The vehicles used are the most complex and most expensive humans create. They endanger, when they make mistakes, not only a significant populace on earth but also a significant amount of expensive machinery in space. There is not much wiggle room in this business for mistakes. Musk’s team has made very few mistakes because they carry out extensive testing on earth.
Congrats! I was in the business for over 30 years and couldn’t agree with you more. I remember the early 60’s when we had more failures than launch successes. We learned it’s a very exacting business that we don’t need to relearn.
Best comment I have seen on this or any other site in a long time.
Elon Musk is smart. He evaluated the political climate and used it to his company’s advantage to get subsidies. I drive a Tesla, and like most Tesla owners, I love my car. I cannot speak for EV owners who bought from other companies
When I see a tesla (subsidized by people like me), especially when their home is covered in solar panels us taxpayers are also paying for, I tend to think the person is a hardcore Marxist or Pan Leninist. The people driving a prius usually look like aging socialists or radical college students. The car usually fits the personality.
When high-profile people do the right thing, they should be supported. If Tucker is spreading truth, I will support him. I see the govbots are already here bashing Carlson before we can even judge the merit of what he’s doing.
Never say never.
Do not forget Tucker’s text message revealed in the Fox/Dominion lawsuit stating how much he hated Trump. I am not certain that Tucker has many core beliefs. Time will tell.
He is a Vanderbilt or one of those old rich peoples family. that is ALL people need to know on whether to trust Tucker Carlson, a huge and emphatic NO!
Anderson Cooper is the Vanderbilt, not Tucker. His only association with “big money” is his stepmother whose family was the Swanson Food Company.
His mother was heiress to the largest cattle operation in the US. He has her money which is a lot. His dad is quite wealthy from his PBS and VoA endeavors. Not to mention the CIA bank. These are wealthy people.
I don’t believe it’s a crime to be wealthy in the United States as long as the wealth was/is obtained legally. I see nothing in your post to indicate his wealth is somehow illegally obtained.
Tucker’s interview of Roseanne Barr and Alex Jones were revealing for me…For the majority of the interview Carlson just let Jone’s interview himself. Then when Jones pulls out the bottle of whiskey, can’t get the case opened retreats off set to pound the hell out of it, gets the case opened and returns to Carlson’s set where Carlson is texting. Then in a forced response he’s a giddy teen ager. That’s also the way Musk is. Both are a boy child. Their humor is locker room style and not adult. It’s almost like they must force adult play.
So we are to shun Carlson because he has a sense of humor/personality you disapprove of? You must also dislike Trump because of his style of humor and mockery. I can’t get enough.
No, but, it is cautionary that there is a streak of irresponsibility lurking beneath the surface. Whether it is consequential will show in the future. Trust but verify.
Thanks for putting descriptive words to that segment, there was something off putting about the whole incident, I just could not put my finger on it. Yes, the humor is locker room and like Musk’s.
Tucker came around on Trump to liking him as he did regarding Alex Jones.
I didn’t know what the heck Trump would do before he was elected, I could not imagine loving Trump this much in 2015. People change their opinions when they observe behavior and critically think.
The left hates Tucker, Alex Jones, and Trump, it’s a good tell.
Brutal -but rational .
Tucker just had Alex Jones on and that brought Jones back to “X”. This is a big deal for uninformed idiots, as I follow Jones but most uninformed people don’t and only believe the liberal narrative which is not true. Jones is rarely wrong. Tucker says things that no one else would except out best Sundance.
I figure this may ruffle some feathers. Never been a fan of Tucker Carlson. His ‘story’ IMO; plays out as controlled ops.
Agree
Interesting, but makes a lot of sense. He was born and raised inside the Deepstate machine and moved as far away as possible when it became clear that the pendulum was moving away from the ‘current’ incarnation of the deep state. I signed up for the service, like I do for a few others or we will be beholden to corporate media.
The only people to listen to are paid for by other sources than big Pharma, or big businesses. That’s us for Tucker, Jones and Mike Adams!
Agree 1000%
So another 9.00 a month? All these podcasters looking for money,selling stuff,and sometimes behind a pay wall do they not understand that another 9.00 is hard for us? I am leader in an Activist group worked in politics since Clinton we have few donors don’t get paid and what I see now is alot of grifters.Tucker is not but really I cannot afford another 9.00 for content that I may read the next day.We on the ground watching our Town,county,state,and federal go to hell is anyone going to help us?
Then I get to the stars selling BOOKS ,Trumpers partying at a tiki bar, while we are trying to get people to melt the phones in DC!
As one friend who is close to Trump told me beware of the grifters looking for money! Fact not Fiction
Prayers needed everyday for President Trump and our Republic’
Trump 2024
I’m not against podcasters looking for money, particularly if this is their only source of employment or income.
Exactly, nothing is really free and you get what you pay for.
“you get what you pay for”… how does that statement work out regarding The Conservative Treehouse?
Is CTH worthless because it is free to read and even more important, free to copy and share with others?
Sundance is one of the few that wants the TRUTH out in the open. The rest are trying to make money off of partial truth, sensationalism and fear.
CTH and Sundance are PRICELESS.
Yes, but sometimes I wish I had never taken the redpill. Ignorance is bliss they say…
I think we are all in that same boat in some respect. There is just too much raw truth to swallow about how much the elites we elect and previously supported hate us and how far our country has fallen.
I agree, I need to make CTH a regular place to give to the resistance! Long Live Lady Liberty!!! VIVA LA LIBERTY! Bring It
Many regular readers contribute to CTH’s support. All such readers should.
Your choice here~you can kindly donate money to Sundance to support his good work.
Nothing is free. I believe the treehouse works with donations and probably a lot of volunteers.
This reminds me of something PJ O’Rourke said, “If you think the cost of healthcare is expensive now, wait until it’s free.” I have a couple of his books in my library.
Paying $9/month for a subscription news service is a choice, not a requirement. 45 years ago folks used to purchase a newspaper every day. Many folks had a subscription to a newspaper. The paper boy stopped by the house monthly to collect the fee. The newspaper was not expensive, so it was a choice that did not strain the budget of most folks. We are used to having access to a wide variety of news and commentary on the Internet FOR FREE. There is no reason to complain if someone wants to charge for his news service. A person has the freedom to choose. Just remember how things were in the olden days: TV stations were free of charge to watch, and you paid a little to read news in print.
Getting stuff for free has its problems; all those years in the twentieth century we got what we paid for from the ‘free’ alphabet networks, which is to say we got the lies that other people paid for.
If you can afford two or three genuinely independent – meaning among other things that they are not dependent upon advertising with the exception of selling their own merch — news sources all of which you more or less trust then by all means pay for them and get them. Do Not expect them to all agree. In any event whether they all agree or not, it is up to he individual to sort out what is what.
I met a woman who said that Donald Trump used to be her paper boy when she lived in Queens in one of his fathers buildings. She said that he would come around every month to their door and collect for the paper, and her mother would yell at him if he was late.
9$ is less than what I paid for the Oregonian before I cancelled it when it became unreadable.
I read his statement as “another $9/month” which means he is subscribed to multiple accounts at around $10/month. It starts to add up to real money when one has multiple subscriptions. I didn’t interpret him as saying one shouldn’t pay for good content that has costs to generate.
I follow several people on Substack and locals.com for free. I can’t afford to subscribe to all of their channels to read the stuff behind the paywall. I cancelled a handful of streaming accounts I had – Netflix, Hulu, etc. They started raising their prices and added up to real money every month.
If we pay Tucker he is not financially captured by big Pharma and/or other big corporate global scum like ALL other media sources.
Have you not noticed how clear and free Tucker has been! Alax Jones just on his show!!!
Much like Alex Jones, if you are not captured, you can tell the truth! Pay up, donate, or buy vitamins!!! I need the truth. Mike Adams is another similar source on Health Ranger, free on his podcast, he sells amazing healthy things,like Jones.
$70 a year x 9 or 10 news outlets. If the internet WERE FREE it would make a better income outcome. C’mon Musk! We are refugees too! In the middle of a war.
Book deals are well-known as payoffs for those helping to destroy the country. Hillary sells 10 copies and gets 10 million. See how that works? They launder bribes through book deals. What org do you work with? Usually people volunteer at the local level. What is your method of raising funds? Which candidate are you supporting? Can you post something here at the treehouse?
I wish Sundance would have gone further with his analysis. I’ve subbed to the new Carlson website, and frankly, somewhat agree with the ‘not trusting Musk’ bit. Carlson does have interesting interviews and opinions. I do hope that whatever the ‘caveat’ is about Carlson and his intentions, that I am aware enough to see them.
Please keep us informed! I’m going to hold off for now
We can trust musk to be the best ceo he can under a capitalistic economic system. And that means he has to ally with countries and corporations that we don’t necessarily approve of. But out of all the others in his position – he’s the only one that turns his attention to the little guy sometimes. And for that we can appreciate musk.
Do your own research and make up your own mind. I visit here at the Tree House often but do I agree with Sundance all the time? Not really. I don’t agree with myself all the time! I call it “Changing my mind”! I like to mix as much as I can get all together, stir the pot and see what makes sense to me. Usually it’s none of the above but somewhere in between all. I will say The Tree House is the best source maybe because it is closest to what I believe. Some of the comments on the other hand? Not so much.
IMHO, Tucker is at least a former intelligence asset, perhaps still is….working to repair his reputation with the folks.
Quit watching his show on Fox after learning of his personal connections to Hunter Biden.
Is he telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth, or just little tidbits to keep us in never-neverland?
Every journo is or was a cia shill. Doesn’t mean they still are. But it does mean they will sell out when they need to.
On a side note, I’ve never met anyone who wouldn’t though. Have you?
Yes, I have! Sundance! Calls it like he sees it and stays independant (no big money backers) so he can’t be bullied or bribed.
Although I agree with much of what Sundance says on the CTH site, I also believe that freedom isn’t free. I signed up for the Tucker Carlson Network as soon as it was available and on a yearly basis. Those comments below about Tucker being a con artist are both naive and incorrect. He has said many times over that he has been incorrect on some issues but is willing to admit when he’s wrong. I haven’t been a follower of CTH long enough to know if “Sundance” has done the same in the past. No one is right 100% of the time.
By the way, I distrust people who hide behind “handles”. If you’ve got something to say, what’s your name? Tucker and Elon are out there in public, totally exposed to a repressive regime that is willing to lie, cheat, and steal to maintain power. The indictments and persecution of the former President prove that beyond a doubt. So man up “Citizen 817”, “Alleycats” and the rest, who hide behind handles, like Biden did with his emails.
The Founding Fathers pledged: “Their lives, fortunes, and sacred honors to each other and the world”. They valued liberty more than security. Do you as well?
The GULAG and J6 Committee have made many patriots think twice before using their given name. However, I believe that with computers today and the cloud, all of us have been discovered. It will matter when the Constitution and Capitalism are fully replaced fully with other means to run the country.
Al Francis – The Founding Fathers all had and used Pen Names… so don’t piss on me and tell me its raining. Don’t use your made up history to guilt me into buying a free pass to the gulag.
You read a different set of history books than I did in school 70 plus years ago. The Gulag only works if our citizens are afreaid to stand up and tell the Deep State ENOUGH! If you don’t have the gonads to do that, well that’s your problem.
Edward Snowden and Julien Assange might disagree?
I guess you have never read the Federalist Papers or heard of Publius, Phocion, or Senex. What about Silence Dogood, Mr. X, Deep Throat, or even Barack Obama?
I don’t see you hanging from the Tree of Liberty. I say that big talk’s worth doodly-squat.
The Matrix already has you. It has all of us. You just don’t know it yet. They fear us. As SD says, control is a reaction to fear. They are the ones who have committed treason, not us. We have the numbers if people stop hiding in fear and unplug from the Big Lie machine.
The only people who can use their real names to espouse freedom now are those who can afford the high cost of litigation. That ain’t me. Done that with the divorce and custody battle, ain’t doing a repeat. The J6er’s did not know the risk of their actions. In a different time in this country they would have been treated as tourists. Everyone else has the example made of them to look to.
On the other hand, we are all free to anonymously throw sand in the gears, post our dissent and talk to our neighbors, our congress people, our friends. If we do not do this en masse, we may lose the privilege.
You are right. If we hide and cower they win. This person needs to read Solzhenitsyn. He lamented that if the people only knew how badly the Bolsheviks would brutalize them they would have fought to the death. Lenin forced over 20 million into Gulags, real Gulags, where people were tortured in unspeakable ways and only half came out alive! And Stalin continued what Lenin started. The road of good intentions is paved with human skulls.
Here’s another pseudonym for you: Publius. And a few more famous “noms de plume”: Polly Baker, Poor Richard Saunders, Silence Dogood, and Alice Addertongue. The owners of these pseudonyms used them for obvious reasons under circumstances similar to those we find ourselves in right now. Oh yeah, and let’s not forget Sundance.😉
I’m sure “they” know who SD is.
How do you like my “handle”?
If you are who I think you are, you already know all about me.
Booring, ain’t I?
He’s been caught perpetuating incorrect information ostensibly for both clicks and possibly shilling. I’m not talking about TC either. I don’t want to get censored so I’ll leave it at that
I trust no one.
Except Donald Trump.
Agreed. I add Sundance to the Trust List so my list double yours. 🙂
I trust no one.
Not even Donald Trump.
But that is because he does stuff that is very questionable.
But so far he APPEARS to be the best hope at the moment for restoring the lost principles of the Construction and restoring the Republic to it’s design and constraint of the governments.
I always pray for him and my choice in him, but I have no trust in me for anything in the government until all the traitors have been removed and the Constitution restored to it’s origins.
“I am the most peaceable of men. All I ask is a humble cottage with a thatched roof, a good bed, good food, fresh milk and butter, flowers before my window and a few fine trees at my door; and if the dear Lord wants to make my happiness complete, he will grant me the joy of seeing some six or seven of my enemies hanging from those trees. Before their death I shall forgive them all the wrongs they did me in their lifetime. One must forgive one’s enemies – but not before they have been hanged.” .” – Heinrich Heine
Wow, Construction? lol Constitution.
Longterm, trust no one but Jesus Christ. The rest is passing away, soon enough.
^ this right here
And that brings us full circle to the fact that you should TRUST NO ONE. Not SD, not trump, and sure as hell some dude from 2kya
Well said!
“privately Tucker says he doesn’t trust Musk one bit”
not heard that
source? To who? When?
A source who must remain unnamed. You understand.
Actually. No I don’t.
“sources say”, “some people say” etc are media means of
fabricatingmaking news.I don’t “believe” the statement to be correct, considering how many citations to sources are included normally, I find it strange that we suddenly get a (unnamed) “source”
Congrats! You are thinking for yourself.
If it’s true we will find out through comment or action . We’ll see!
I was listening to the Kid Rock interview while doing something else but then watched the video later in the day.
Watching, Kid Rock all seemed very scripted and fake. The sunglasses seemed odd, as if he didn’t want his eyes to give him away. Sipping a beer during the first segment about Bud Light’s “honest mistake” and what a great guy the CEO of A-B was sounded like an infomercial.
The rest of the interview was perfectly on message until we found out “coincidentally” that tickets to Kid Rock’s summer tour went on sale that very same day.
Can’t wait to see who are the sponsors of both enterprises.
is Bud Light sold at his concerts?
the answer to that question would be telling
and Bud Light shoving this nonsense down
our throats is not a mistake
why not praise the citizens for recognizing
a con when we see one?
because Kid Rock is running his own con?
I mean what do we really expect from kid rock tho? He’s harmless. He’s not someone who needs to be followed tho.
If he said that I’d like a link/source. Wasn’t he the the one shooting cans of bud light?
How are comments arranged? I posted mine at 7:43 AM and now find it 11 spots lower than one posted at 2:44 AM. Looks like it’s been “buried” like they used to do in the newspapers of the editor didn’t agree with same. Bad practice. everything should be sequential.
Al….when you post a new comment it remains at the top only until you “refresh” the page. Then, is drops to the bottom where the newest comments appear. When you post a reply to someone else’s comment it remains where posted.
Based on your input, I’m going to give you my professional recommendation that you run along and start your own blog since Sundance’s is so icky to you.
Bless yer little heart.
😂
He probably didn’t know about refreshing the page. No reason to put someone down.
Carlson has already earned my $72 smackers with Trump’s interview not to mention getting Alex Jones in the forefront and maybe adding fuel to the fire for Zelensky and his mofia ways.
..’CTH now has a strong source arsenal of very specific contacts’… ‘ I can say with certainty that … privately Tucker says he doesn’t trust Musk one bit.’…
When I read this, it seems SD has talked to TC directly. If true, that would put me more at ease.
Tucker has practiced some very extraordinary, courageous journalism. But I’m to the point with any public figure, including the likes of both Tucker and Musk, that I am grateful for any good they may offer, but my trust is another thing altogether.
In fact, the Bible warns us not to trust in man or in princes. Isaiah goes as far as to say, cursed is the man who trusts in man. And the Gospels say that Jesus entrusted Himself to no man, because He knew what was in man. So there is that.
That puts me somewhat on the fringe of popular movements, never finding myself in full conformity to any of them. So be it. One skill that our nation is in dire need of reclaiming is the ability to think critically.
>> One skill that our nation is in dire need of reclaiming is the ability to think critically.
AMEN!!!!
Take every source with at least a grain of salt!! The only source I am on-board completely is Jesus Christ!!
I like Tucker, but I’m not going to pay $9 per month, or $72 per year, to watch or hear him. His appeal, so far, has been his willingness to serve the public good. Now he is entering a different arena. We’ll see how this works out.
I’m relieved to hear this.
Just starting to read the new Mush biography by Walter Issacson, who lived on Musk’s property in his guest house, on and off for 3 years, to be close to him. Some of the stories are real eye-openers.
Musk has his own ideas that are a mix of meglomania, and earnestness, and that’s always a questionable mix, like horse fresh out of the barn.
I believe sincere people endeavor not to gossip or knowingly lie to the public. Tucker or anyone would be unwise to publicly opinionate on someone’s character without disclosing evidence and providing a way of response for discussion with that person.
If I’m understanding the recount above cites a trusted 3rd party saying Carlson publicly speaks well of Musk but privately and personally Carlson holds a very different perception of Musk.
I’d doubt Tucker intended his comment in private be repeated publicly by the person he spoke it to. Today, quotation marks or a video could close the gap in the above.
My definition of gossip is a simple one; when we speak about someone who’s not in the room to defend themself.
Musk had two feet in with Democrats and said he voted for Biden in 2020, but now after Truths have been uncovered, he said he won’t be voting Democrat. People are ever maturing.
My personal take: Elon Musk is a complicated person making decisions sometimes brilliant and helpful, other times he shows an unawareness of what he doesn’t know; chips in the brain, voting for Biden, Jack Dorsey’s business ‘partners’, life on Mars.
From the Sept. 2023 book “Elon Musk” by Walter Isaacson:
“Grimes told Isaacson for the book: “Asperger’s makes you a very difficult person. He’s
not good at reading the room. His emotional comprehension is just very different from
the average human.
She said people should “keep his psychological makeup in mind when judging him.”
Grimes is Musk’s current wife.
I would not receive what a third party says, without quoting, what someone else said about yet another party, who isn’t in the room.
Quoting Carlson or Musk is a secure standard of integrity. Sundance, you have provided copies of documents and video clips enabling us to think and decide based on facts. I’m always pleased to receive that level of regard inviting my opinion…based on verifiable facts given. Those quotation marks and audible videos are powerful.
Best comment I’ve read all day. Indeed, it sounds just like gossip and or something taken out of context. TC could very well mean he doesn’t trust anyone – not even musk. Or he could mean that he doesn’t trust musk will let him stay as he could change his mind and can tucker in a heartbeat. And that’s true – musk does what he wants and he’s seemingly loyal to no one – not even the advertisers who write his checks.
I’ll make my decision when I hear it from the horses mouth
Gab.com is the ONLY 100% Free Speech platform there is in social media. Anything less pales and is controlled opposition, just like Elon and Tucker. If people really think these Multi-millionaire and Billionaire types give one crap about them, then they are bigger fools than Joe Biden.
Andrew Torba offers the Only Free Speech out there Period. Remember “Hate speech” is STILL Free Speech.
Also remember made up words like racism and anti-semitism HURT America. They are to CONTROL YOU PERIOD!!!
No thanks.
I used them early on when they started, but they censored a group of cartoonists/manga/anime fans and lost my support.
If a complaint of hurt sensibilities of manga can get a person or group of people banned … then anything is banned and censored.
And that definitely means Gab! as well.
Just more controlled opposition psyop.
You mean the lolicon controversy?
I often criticized Tucker when he ran his Fox evening show – the format was very itty bitty when more depth was often required plus he kept having on dopey lefty guests whose opinions I had no desire to listen to in the name of being
‘Fair and Balanced’ – however, (!) since he got the shoe from Fox his interviews online have been with an interesting
and eclectic crowd of people? I feel the same about Megyn Kelly and her show on Triumph/Sirius.
We (in Canada) cut the cable TV about 5 years ago and the way all things ‘information’ have since developed has been
interesting? Here we have a paid for news service, (Blacklocks $314 CAN) if we want to get around the government paid for news and find out what Trudeau is up to – so far, our info budget is at the limit so we have not yet signed up!
Decisions decisions!!!
Even people who are not trustworthy can be useful at certain times.
If Tucker wants to make money exposing media/government Ties and Lies then I don’t mind supporting that short term at least.
When he gets the ego and goes the way of O’Reilly, Hannity, Ingraham etc etc etc I can jettison him just as quickly as I have all of those.
The Sages call this world עֲלְמָא דְשִׁיקְרָא [alma d’shikra], the world of falsehood, because its materiality can trick the mind that there is no Creator.
This is a world where the masses are manipulated continuously by semantics, imagery, slight of hand or by technological trickery.
Shysters abound, and they will often seek and obtain positions of influence and authority, for the dregs from gold and from silver rise in the refiner’s crucible.
This World has many rewards . . . money, fame, honor . . . but they all are vanity. Vanity of vanities. There is nothing new under the sun.
Consider me proud to have been tricked then.
This is one of the reasons I respect Glenn Greenwald so much. He went to Rumble where he was more confident that he wouldn’t be censored. He valued his freedom more than the money. I don’t always agree with him, but I definitely respect him and his opinion. Other than Sundance, I think Greenwald understands the Intelligence Branch better than anyone else.
Tucker is promoting bud light. He is not our friend.
Just my opinion but this statement strikes me as borderline untruthful,
“he is publicly positioning… while avoiding the harder road of speaking true, yet unpopular opinions”
In my years of following Tucker I have not seen him to be at all reticent to speaking unpopular truths.
Do you have some clear examples of him avoiding unpopular realities? Isn’t that what made him persona non grata at Fox in the first place? Providing a long form platform for Alex Jones to defend himself was not exactly avoiding a hard truth.
I too support what Musk says (by statement and action) he is attempting to accomplish, an open forum where divergent opinions can be shared openly without threat. And privately, neither do I trust him completely – a very prudent stance since I don’t know him at all and can only judge his visible actions through a mostly foggy lens. So, I guess I agree with the present dichotomy of Tucker’s position?
But bottom line, it seems premature to me to insinuate hard truth avoidance on Tucker Carlson simply because suspicious cat is, well… suspicious.
Most of what you say here makes sense. Only an idiot would speak “true, yet unpopular opinions” unless they could guarantee that they could do so and live to tell the tale. Being public at the level of Carlson and Musk comes with a great deal of vulnerability, as Trump repeatedly and unfortunately demonstrated, and that vulnerability can only be ignored at one’s own peril. More, Carlson’s personality, like Trump’s, is an open book. If he was a snake in the grass it would show. My son-in-law passed him in an airport in Portland, Maine a couple of weeks back. He was completely alone, carrying his own suitcase, and wore the same smile that he always does. The point being that he has to be strategic, but he won’t be someone that he’s not.
Musk’s a little harder to read, but it seems clear that, if he takes the trouble to flip the bird at Soros and TPTB in a very public forum, he knows what he’s doing, and it’s not committing political and economic suicide. Deliberately taking down X? Far-fetched and begs the question why. Surely there were much easier ways to take down Twitter than this.
Really? How else could he have exposed the gov (which was ostensibly his main reason for buying twitter in the first place)?
Exactly. His most likely motives seem to have been on behalf of the resistance.

Truth Social. President Donald J. TRUMP tells the TRUTH!
If everything is “controlled ops”, if “everyone is controlled and are conning us” Then what is the point? Why do you want to live like this? Boogeymen around every corner. Sign me off. To quote SD it’s up to us to filter and accept or deny the information given to us. Pointing the finger at everything and everyone is getting tiresome.
I’ll stick with being a tree hugger thank you very much.
I signed up 12/11 at the “early bird” discount rate of $6/month for 12 months. Pocket change to see, hear, and evaluate for myself what exactly Mr. Carlson is, under his preppy uniform.
Question.
What is it that we really want?
Sovereignty.
Individual sovereignty.
This is not the same as unity.
It seems that individual sovereignty is what is missing in this world.
To the extent that we all fight for sovereignty instead of being ruled over, we are on the same side.
God made man to be sovereign and free.
If we disagree, all is still OK.
Are these two men fighting for everyone’s sovereignty above all else?
I welcome fellow soldiers who agree on this singular point.
Self-serving is never a good baseline.
Said the human
Only a fool believes those millions of “X” viewers will become subscribers…
I like Tucker, but I’m not going to pay to see or hear him.
As far as X is concerned, it’s only as free as its owner wants it to be. Until Congress makes law that reigns in efforts of censorship on public social media platforms, that truth will always be true. Elon’s takeover before these issues were resolved as law is, and should only be, viewed as temporary. Musk himself doesn’t have to pull the carpet, his successor can.
