Only if you really understand the background of Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop, an argument can be made that the deal between Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson is trying to get the unsubsidized financial viability of Twitter under the control of an independent platform. At least, that’s my slant on the positive perspective here.
As a free communication platform, Twitter has never been, and is not now, financially viable. However, if Musk can continue finding ways to monetize the platform, subscriptions, exclusive content, advertising, and now broadcasting etc., he might finally be able to break free from the data processing subsidy running behind it. We should be cautiously optimistic, yet pragmatic to the reality of the challenge.
Toward that end, Tucker Carlson announced today an intent to use the social media platform as a free speech and journalistic broadcasting system. If Elon Musk chooses to make Carlson the anchor of this ¹Twitter enterprise it would be akin to ²Fox streaming services making Carlson the anchor of Fox News digital, via Fox Nation. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
.
¹On an investment/return approach, it would make a lot of sense for Elon Musk to give Tucker Carlson a percentage stake in the enterprise (25% backend wealth) in combination with a front-end lump sum and generous expense deferred contract [all write-offs for Musk]. Carlson retains full proprietary control of his created content; Musk gets platform profitable; a genuine win-win.
²Tucker Carlson and the show Tucker Carlson Today was the prior anchor of Fox Nation digital. Murdoch shot themselves in the streaming foot when they fired him. However, you will notice Murdoch waited until Carlson had produced a year’s worth of yet to be broadcast long-format programming which Fox Nation still owns.
(Via Axios) Tucker Carlson, two weeks after being ousted by Fox News, accused the network Tuesday of fraud and breach of contract — and made a host of document demands that could precede legal action.
Why it matters: The aggressive letter from his lawyers to Fox positions Carlson to argue that the noncompete provision in his contract is no longer valid — freeing him to launch his own competing show or media enterprise.
On Tuesday, Carlson announced he would be bringing his show to 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,” he said in the video. “We 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.”
The intrigue: The Twitter move would seem to technically violate Carlson’s contract with Fox, but his lawyers’ letter effectively holds that Fox breached the contract first.
Sources told Axios that Carlson’s lawyers sent their letter before he took to Twitter to announce his new show.
Catch up quick: Axios reported Sunday that Carlson, frustrated by being held to his contract, is preparing to unleash allies to pressure the network into letting him work for — or start — a right-wing rival.
Carlson’s contract runs until January 2025 and Fox wants to keep paying him, which would prevent him from starting a competing show.
Carlson already has gotten eye-popping offers from several right-wing outlets, and has talked to Elon Musk about working together.
The details: The letter — from Carlson lawyer Bryan Freedman to Fox officials Viet Dinh and Irena Briganti — said Fox employees, including “Rupert Murdoch himself,” broke promises to Carlson “intentionally and with reckless disregard for the truth.”
The lawyers accuse Fox executives — which two sources say are Dinh and Murdoch — of making “material representations,” or promises, to Carlson that were intentionally broken, constituting fraud.
Notably, the letter alleges Fox broke an agreement with Carlson not to leak his private communications to the media and not to use Carlson’s private messages “to take any adverse employment action against him.”
Multiple outlets have reported on Carlson’s redacted communications from pre-trial discovery documents and have suggested that they led to his ousting.
The letter also alleges Fox broke promises not to settle with Dominion Voting Systems “in a way which would indicate wrongdoing” on the part of Carlson and not to take any actions in a settlement that would harm Carlson’s reputation.
Carlson was told by a member of the Fox board that he was taken off the air as part of the Dominion settlement, two sources briefed on a conversation told Axios. (read more)
*Headline updated 10:52pm EST as Musk denies any current joint partnership – which makes sense, giving the pending litigation on the contract at Fox News.
Hey come on in.
The twitter back door is always open like open borders.
😳👀
Agreed. Anyone who believes it closed is a fool in my opinion.
My take would be that anyone who knows, like everyone here, that a back door exists at all, is savvy enough to know it is eternally open until somehow actively dismantled.
I fully agree with Sundance’s take. Elon can’t get to the root of dismantling the back door unless he first frees the company from the shackles of totalitarian regime control – by making it profitable.
The shackles are the color of money. Our tax money, to boot.
We obviously pay too much taxes since the government frivolates much of it away.
F Fox and F Twitter. I hope they both go down in flames. I will stick to Gettr and Truth Social. China owns Elon, who makes batteries for his environmentally unfriendly vehicle.
Very little interaction on both TS and Gettr. Also talking to the echo chamber there. On Twitter Tucker Carlson will reach millions of new people.
I’ve never been able to get traction/interaction on Gab either except for a large homesteading group. I don’t enjoy echo chambers.
Color me skeptical but I do enjoy a good thought-experiment.
Fox could sue Twitter and the full weight of the U.S. government further exposing who knew about the magic coffee.
Elon might have exposure depending on phone records from Fox.
It really is fascinating .
Do NOT trust any of these people…or ANY doctors at this point.
IMHO.
Same here, WSB. :8-}
I agree, this is rather suspicious but it could just be the natural progression of things.
It’s strange though, I noted recently Glenn greenwald has been trumpeting Tucker almost every show for the last month – but maybe he was courting him to go to substack. Tucker is too mainstream for
substack I think.
But what if? What if greenwald was compromised by the gov and Snowden was a limited hangout?
What if musk is compromised by the gov and he’s playing devils advocate right now – perhaps in an effort to expose the future insurgents that will be rounded up?
What if Tucker is playing a role with an already tightly scripted narrative the gov is trying to parlay?
My first instinct is to lean towards deep state conspiracies, but my sober reasoning tells me it can’t be that complicated. I mean, we are all sitting ducks just waiting to be killed – nobody’s gonna do shit, especially not us.
Why? Because it’s so much easier to simply keep the temperature rising ever so slightly. Whoever jumps out first gets Jan 6th’d so no one else gets any bright ideas.
Let’s hope they anesthetize before slaughter.
Who do I trust?
Greenwald – No
Musk – No
Tucker – good for normies
Sundance – yes
Trump – yes
If I’m being honest, most people are against us because the money is too sweet.
Our main plan of attack should be to drain the Uniparty of funds while securing our elections.
Instead of taking a guaranteed salary, Tucker is opting for a method that will reward him if he puts out quality content. What a novel concept.
Twitter also has a wider reach for Tucker’s message to get out during the next 18 months. Twitter is also the Go To for most breaking news.
He is worth at least $550 million, I think he can afford the pay deal.
Its not Christian for us to count other peoples money.
Agreed. Twitter is the smart move.
I’m an old MD. Since I remember (after 1950) in USA nobody can do anything in freedom because Lawyers got gains through litigation activities. A top MD in Boston told me that near de exit door of hospitals tens of employees of third range Lawyers questioned recently treated people for any medical fault. For half/half litigation (patient/lawyer).
Sorry for my bad English.
I have zero sympathy for an MD complaining about lawyers. The 3rd leading cause of death is from medical errors. The CDC no longer tracks it, but others do. Which is Convenient in light of C19 “treatment”, protocols and m r na v ax. It has probably moved closer to the top spot.
The hospital system and pharmaceutical system and liscensing system squeeze medical doctors by design. JD Rockfellar designed the current medical system, owns the liscensing system, and he is no Saint.
I’m still wary of Musk. While he may be trying to make Twitter ‘financially viable’, at least at present, those back doors to surveillance still exist. The theory posted in Sundance’s article is that, with financial viability, Musk can throw off the shackles of the government. Well, how does that align with the idea that Twitter uses US government servers? How does that align with all Musk’s other ventures that are wholly tied to the US government, like SpaceX, Neuralink, etc.?? Could Musk’s invitation solely be a matter of attempting to get back some of his initial $44 billion investment, rather than a red pill moment?? Conversely, presumably Tucker is aware of the government surveillance on Twitter. There are still many questions here, before I decide whether this is a red pill moment, or just another psyop meant to deceive.
We don’t know they’re using gov servers – that’s all unsubstantiated hypothesis.
Perhaps ‘unsubstantiated’ but in reality, who has large enough servers to deal with the type of comment platform that Twitter has?
Amazon web services?
I don’t know, but some time ago Sundance wrote an article about the difference between ‘content’ and ‘comment’ websites. On Twitter, a comment that you write is immediately shown on the feed to anyone and everyone who has access to that page. Made sense to me that you’d need a huge server in order to do this.
By the way, your suggestion about Amazon, considering their ties to the CIA, etc., aren’t less unsettling!!
ETA, I ran a few URL’s from the site related to image and video hosting and found they led to a company called Edgio, formerly Edgecast, which hosts and facilitates streaming and video services.
One can look at page source HTML from Twitter and pull up IP’s from the data there. From my cursory glance it doesn’t appear that AWS is involved.
I don’t understand the Twitter issue, but I like to listen to what intelligent people have to say so I use whatever means are available to fulfill that desire.
Murdoch waited until Carlson had produced a year’s worth of yet to be broadcast long-format programming which Fox Nation still owns.
I don’t care. I canceled my Fox Nation subscription the very moment I heard Murdoch fired Tucker.
You couldn’t pay me to twitter. I’ll be planting lettuce.
And carrots, cukes, tomatoes, peppers….,
and raising baby chicks while building a ‘chicken palace’ to keep the little ladies safe. Not going to free range for a while with weasels, coons and cats taking down my neighbors flock.
You can build a movable chicken run that keeps the same and gives them food variety, just move it when they eat out the area.
re: “You can watch any video on Twitter without an active account. Only difference is – you can’t comment there.”
I don’t think ANYONE understands that. ‘Too complicated.’ /s
From Elon Musk –
“On this platform, unlike the one-way street of broadcast, people are able to interact, critique and refute whatever is said.
And, of course, anything misleading will get @CommunityNotes
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.”
I’ve got questions –
What about malicious lawsuits – malicious leftist lawfare – that is sure to come?
How is Tucker protected, will insurance or Elon help with this?
What sort of agreement do Tucker and Elon have?
How much money is Elon making with the blue check marks?
What are the gold check marks – like Babylon Bee has?
Are Tucker and/or Elon in the MAGA camp or the globalism camp?
Do they believe in the Constitution, law and order and justice?
The answers will come in the days ahead.
In the meantime, I’m skeptically optimistic.
Let’s see what these two brilliant young whippersnapper deliver.
It will be good or just another cruel deception.
Our Man Trump lays out his intentions and Agenda 47 policies in detail – ahead of time – transparently in black and white – and that’s very comforting!
Can’t wait to see Trump’s choice of VPs this time around!!!
PS – If it doesn’t work out for Tucker on Twitter – as Elon says – there’s no obligation – Tucker has plenty of other options, and he can move elsewhere.
Who will immediately be subjected to “investigations”, arrest, families threatened, etc. Looks like same old, same old. If there is no investigations, targeting, etc., they are deep state (“WEF”) shills.
I do not trust Musk nor the government operators of Twitter.
Agree.
I think this “New Twitter” is the government’s attempt to pull people back to the reservation and to erode the alternatives to Twitter that sprang up under Jack’s reign. Gab, Gettr, Bitchute, Rumble, TruthScial, etc
We are a gullible society. As soon as the “New Twitter” arrived, masses of people abandoned the new young alternatives and returned to Twitter.
That I believe is the point of “New Twitter.” To destroy any alternatives. Once everyone is back on the Twitter plantation and alternatives wither away, then we’re back to tightening controls on speech.
Who is Musk? He’s someone who says he’s for free speech and can be charming in his own way. But his actions speak so loudly I can’t hear what he is saying.
> Says he is a free speech absolutist but he gets along famously with a supportive Chinese government where he builds Teslas. Never a critical word against China’s oppressive treatment of its people.
> Says he’s shocked by the government cockroaches inside Twitter, but they still seem to be there. Censorship is still being reported. Haven’t seen him provide a timeline for clearing out all the federal folks inside his company. Why not? He’s relatively silent on what he’s done and is doing about that.
> He is heavily dependent on U.S. government funding for most all his businesses. How much is he going to risk?
> Musk is a transhumanist who wants to put AI chips inside our brains via his company Neurolink. Who needs censorship when one can directly link into someone’s brain with the power of AI?
> Most telling —-> He is being left alone by the government.
Where’s the endless DOJ lawfare? Why hasn’t he been hauled into the DC court system on hoax charges? He had a recent meeting with Schumer –wonder what that was about. Anyone who is left alone is someone who is either not a threat or is actively complicit.
I fear many (not all) in the MAGA movement are too easily manipulated. MAGA language is easy to learn and parrot. Too many seem persuaded by words and never look under the hood. Mix in the desire for the New Twitter to be real and it’s easy for low info MAGA to not see what is unpalatable to see.
Elon Musk wore a Baphomet costume on Halloween 2022. He also has a chip in his brain that works much like a microphone. He is controlled.
Go Tucker go!
The major networks are dinosaurs.
It’s obvious with Netflix, Hulu, HBO, HBO Max, Showtime, Starz and more recently Apple and Amazon Prime wanting pieces of the pie that separate subscriptions/streaming are the future.
The younger generations use Utube or whatever tech gadgets when they want access to a sporting event or show on a major network but, they are not paying monthly fees for ABC, Fox, CBS and NBC and that’s only getting worse for those networks.
Any way to shut that propaganda off will be welcomed by me because the majority of those charlatans posing as journalists will never have a platform to transition to.
They are like the worst soap opera actors at best.
The few journalists that are the real deal do not look at the rest as peers.
The majority of the youth to 40 year olds would not even recognize in public, the talking heads from the major networks since they have no relevance in that demographic already.
Tucker has a gift when he’s exposing the very obvious, rancid government corruption he skillfully uses sarcasm and humor which in these times I welcome.
Like I said. Elon has the opportunity to condemn the mainstream media to the ash heap of irrelevancy.
Viet Dinh, I knew that name sounded familiar:
Chief architect of USA Patriot Act. SPIT! Former Bush Asst AG. SPIT!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viet_D._Dinh
“It emerged after he was appointed to the board investigation that Dinh is godfather to one of Lachlan Murdoch’s children and a friend of Lachlan since 2003.”
Good catch!
At first glance, all I could think was ‘Viet Cong’…
… and then some!
Bush = Criminal…any questions.
Talk about the swamp infiltrating “media”!
Makes you wonder what back doors the swamp has into FNC comms. Did he set up the spying on TC?
He is spy fo the Deep State. Definitely. Infiltrates Fox to keep an eye on the previously conservative TV news site.
I joined up on Twitter in 2017 and never used the account until 4 months ago and got a “blue check too”… i used to get a lot of Liberal junk but just in the last few weeks its like they all went underground. You have to look for them now. Most of them are really pathetic incels. Even the lefty politicians look like they have retreated to their echo chambers. I do follow TLR… like, and retweet them often.
I support Tucker’s move on Twitter because I trust his judgment as a truth teller.
Not everyone here will be aboard for the victories ahead.
It won’t take all patriots to achieve the victories. Many will hide and watch.
As throughout history, the few, the brave and the determined will win the day.
If you open your eyes, you will see the wicked are on the ropes and are lashing out in desperation. The solid ground they thought they were standing upon is shifting beneath their feet and throwing them off balance.
They pound the tables but tremble inside with evil hearts pounding in fear inside their chests.
I might agree with you if it weren’t for what they’re getting away with doing to honest citizens with the full blessing and aid of the legal system. Our courts used to be the envy of the world. Now they’re a joke.
As far as I can tell the Left is batting 100% with pitchers o f the Right lobbing the ball. If there are any victories on the horizon it seems to only come from Trump being victorious and then avoiding the many errors he made last time. Recently he spoke about the poor job the Barr did. Well…. that’s not what he said when Barr was AG. Trump was constantly giving him the benefit of the doubt when it was obvious to everyone here that Barr was a snake.
I just deleted my account. And twitter isn’t the “only” free speech, there is Gab. Andrew has been doing a great job fighting the powers that hate free speech.
Funny thing about deleting my account (twitter) is I was told they will still keep my info! And if I went there (I think once) – they wouldn’t delete it. I clicked on the Tucker link….
I heard rumors Tucker is going to Rumble. Maybe this is distraction to get peeps to go to twitter and then he goes to Rumble? Check out Amazing Polly’s research: https://rumble.com/v2kmt10-meet-the-so-called-independent-alternative-media-dig-into-rumble.html
Amazing Polly is not to be trust. She is rabid Anti-Trump.
Not so fast with the trust Musk. If one were to corral the second or third mightiest MAGA voice – this would be the way to do it. All about stopping Trump.
imo, tucker is just another distraction intended to distract….
The

Military age men, many from China (almost all Chinese invaders are dressed alike and toting the same bags….
LOOK, dig it out….
You can spell it out over and over. But nobody will pay attention to the big BORDER issue till its too late and solders of the PLA have taken their home. Most would rather put little fish in the fryer like Tucker.
I hope it is structured in such a way that I can watch it at any time like a podcast
I think Carlson has only the best of intentions . I think he is genuinely an honest broker.
It would be wonderful if this works and turns the corner on the propaganda machine that is the main stream media.
My concern is that Carlson has just put himself in a similar position as Trump during his presidency.
He will be surrounded by bad actors who can undermine everything he tries to accomplish.
I know Carlson is a very powerful force but he is not in the same league as Trump and we see the corrosive effects it had on Trumps efforts.
The possibility is that bad actors at Twitter will lay and wait in the background for the right moment to act.
Just like Pence did.
In this post there is reference to Fox executives breaking the promise not to leak any of Carlson’s emails.
Did Tucker Carlson ever for even one second believe they would ever abide by that promise?
Just think what damage the deeply imbedded bad actors at Twitter/CIA can do to him now.
I can see it now Twitter launches an investigation looking into some destructive actions by an unnamed “rouge” Twitter employee .
Then they fire someone from the mail room years after all the damage has been done.
Why does Musk need to use Carlson to start a news platform at Twitter?
If Musk and Carlson announced a separate news platform it would be well funded clean slate operation that would instantly dominate everyone else without the CIA baggage in the background.
If Carlson were to align himself with Truth Social one thing we could be sure of.
He would be associating himself with one of the only honest broker on the horizon.
We really can’t say that for sure about Musk.
Fox fired Carlson in an attempt to control him.
I fear that he has jumped from the Frying pan into the fire.
Twitter controlled the President of the United States communications .
How is an employee named Carlson going to stand a chance ?
Carlson will be successful and will make all the money he could ever hope to have but will he be effective or will he end up like the rest of the controlled media ?
But then what do I know.?
I wish him success .
We need a win.
Awesome!
Trust but verify. We’ll see if he tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help him God.
The proof of the fraud on 11/3/2020 is voluminous, obvious and without any doubt, go there, go deep, show the criminal cabal for who and what they are and I’m a believer.
Vote fraud is the string that if it’s pulled will end the swamps State & Federal with every law, action, tax, war, etc. will be set aside due to the fraud. “Fraud vitiates everything.”
I will watch and listen, but will not hold my breath…prove me wrong.
text tucker 44055.
Tucker, in his interviews, was fascinated with those who were doing their own thing without the need to report to anyone, take orders from anyone.
He would credit Fox often for not telling him what he could/could not do, until he was fired.
He is much better off on his own. He works harder than all of them, is curious and has now 30 years experience.
Is he the next Rush in a newer media?
Time will tell.
This is sad news for many of us who refuse to be involved in any way whatsoever with “social media” platforms. Spy on me once, shame on you. Spy on me twice, shame on me. Spy on and monitor me three times … I’m gone.
Yet here you are on a “platform”.
I would think you can view the content without an account, but not be able to comment. Who cares about getting mixed up the sewer of comments on Twitter anyway. I don’t have time for that.
Like a post earlier, “Trust but verify”.
re: “You can watch any video on Twitter without an active account. Only difference is – you can’t comment there.”
I don’t think ANYONE understands that. ‘Too complicated.’ /s
Follow me here when I say this. This Tucker Carlson thing hits really close to home.
In 1992, I was off to college at the University of Minnesota. I was super excited to be starting what was my dream – to become a journalist. I didn’t want to be on television, I wanted to be a reporter or writer. Maybe for National Geographic. I was pretty good at researching and soon I was digging in the stacks at Walter Library, finding everything I needed and loving the old, old smelly books. I wanted to revolutionize journalism.
Then, I enrolled in “Producing Messages for Mass Media Communications”, a 3000 level course that gated my path to additional courses in my major. I was getting B/C grades on my papers each week, with no comments. When I was able to get into my instructor’s office for feedback – (which office hours always seemed to happen when I had another class, and the instructors were very inaccessible outside of class hours back then, you had to find them on the third blue moon but only when it fell on a Tuesday kind of thing) – he said to me “Angela you are a great writer, but you’ll never make money in this business because you aren’t putting the proper spin on your articles for your audience. There is a reason each week the assignments assume you are writing for different publications”. Ok, but aren’t we still writing ‘hard news’ stories? These aren’t editorials or opinion pieces. The adjectives and adverbs really matter. I damn near, at that point, had the AP Style Guide memorized. I was very uncomfortable with the tone of the course and made a decision to walk away from the prospect of entering the profession, which had been my dream from a very young age.
Somewhere along the line, after I had left, the U of MN J school lost their accreditation. I don’t remember what year. I tried to look this up last night but the only thing I could find was an announcement in 2018 that they had been re-accredited and were rebranding themselves as the “Hubbard School of Broadcasting”. The Hubbards owned the local ABC affiliate at the time in the Twin Cities and had their hands in a myriad of other large enterprises in Minnesota. Big money talks.
The J Schools literally were churning out warped, programmed puppets. They probably still are. I saw it first hand and escaped.
My stepmom (RIP) went to journalism school in the 50’s and even in those times she said they taught them to carry the water for “the powers that be” and how to massage the news/truth or push the narrative, all funneled through the editor.
Real journalism is a myth, remember the “journalist” are employed by someone.
Don’t give up. Never give up. Start your own blog. Do it your way, w/o the overpaid bosses. You never needed them anyway. Let the audience decide.
The timeline as I see it:
3D chess, you no ‘how to play’.
It will be interesting to see how often Fox quotes Twitter once Tucker gets going. HA!
Reading all the comments here, I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding of Twitter, what you have to do on Twitter, etc.
If Tucker Carlson is broadcasting on Twitter nightly, ANYONE can watch it, with absolutely NO information passing from you to Twitter.
Just like when you turn on your TV and watch, you can “turn on” Twitter and watch. And then “turn it off.”
You don’t have to have a Twitter account. They can’t “shadow-ban” Tucker, unless they literally make him unsearchable, which he would know instantly, because we would all tell him.
This is a win, truly. Whether you like Elon or not, he is giving Tucker a broadcasting platform. That’s all it is. You never have to read the negative comments the leftists will make if you don’t want to, just like you wouldn’t tune in to CNN to listen to them refute and disparage whatever Tucker said when he was on Fox.
AND, Tucker’s broadcast’s should be shareable, like on this platform right here. Sundance shares Tweets all the time. Tucker’s will be the same, I should think, so you will see them here.
Let’s be positive and happy for a minute that a red-pilled Tucker Carlson is not going down, but coming out swinging. I personally think that Tucker finally woke up to the actual evil that is trying to take over the world, turned to God, and is a new man.
Wrong!
If Tucker Carlson is broadcasting on Twitter nightly, ANYONE can watch it, with absolutely NO information passing from you to Twitter.?
re: “You can watch any video on Twitter without an active account. Only difference is – you can’t comment there.”
I don’t think ANYONE understands that. ‘Too complicated.’ /s
I don’t have a Twitter account. Yet I click on Sundances Twitter account to browse the videos. I can see everything on Sundance’s Twitter account without having to log into Twitter. Click on “Tweets from LastRefuge2”
Tweets by TheLastRefuge2
I never had an account with Jack’s Magic Coffee House, and I never will. So I guess I’ll never get to watch Carlson again. Shame, but that’s the way it is.
Unless TC limits access to followers, anyone who can access Twitter over the interwebs can view his content. Like yourself, I’ve never been a Twitter member or other social media for that matter. I still looked at TC’s account this morning and viewed his stored videos there.
The main negative is cleaning out Twitter junk from my web cache and cookie files. That’s not hard though. Takes a few seconds.
If one blocks Twitter cookies entirely, expect pages to break or not redirect. That’s what my experimentation resulted in. My compromise was allowing them for the browser session with the browser deleting everything on close..
I do this almost everywhere I go. Auto-delete the cookies as soon as a tab closes.
re: “You can watch any video on Twitter without an active account. Only difference is – you can’t comment there.”
I don’t think ANYONE understands that. ‘Too complicated.’ /s
Asking rhetorically, does Twitter still grant unfettered access of its users’ data to US government agencies, employees and paid contractors?
Good luck to Tucker in his new endeavor(s)!
I would advise him to hire a few food-taster’s just to be on the safe side.
schmucky, piglosi and swallowell would be perfect for the job. lizzie mcstain, kinzinger, ms. lindsie and mcturtle could step up after the others, uh hem, save Tucker.
Why? I am not convinced he is not part of “The System”
Gov -> Elon
TSAT -> Starlink
NASA -> SpaceX
Twitter -> Twitter
MSM -> Social Networks?
I am suspect. Elon met with Schumer and he seems to suppose DeSantis.
The Transformational Satellite System (TSAT) provides orbit-to-ground laser communications. Throughput for the five-satellite constellation could top out at 10 to 40 gigabytes per second, with a total program cost of $12 billion-to-$18-billion for the entire constellation.
The Transformational Satellite Communications (TSAT) System will provide DoD with high data rate Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) and Internet-like services as defined in the Transformational Communications Architecture (TCA). TSAT is key to global net-centric operations. As the spaceborne element of the Global Information Grid (GIG), it will extend the GIG to users without terrestrial connections providing improved connectivity and data transfer capability, vastly improving satellite communications for the warfighter.
Sorry, but this effort with Tucker looks like Musk trying to put some lipstick on the pig he bought. Musk was given fair warning, but went ahead and forked over $40B. Given how the Musk enterprises are nearly all dependent on government handouts, or the CCP, I’ll continue to stay away from all things TWTR. Perhaps I’ll watch Tucker clips on YouTube or Rumble or something.
Was just talking to a well read friend re TC. He says TC’s contract limits where he shares.
Can’t do news, blogs, or podcasts (lesson learned from firing of Bill O’Reilly) but he can have a social media presence hence: Twitter. Allows for bigger audience than others and vids that can be viewed off-site.
Disappointed he went with Twitter, he should have gone to GAB. How long before the Twitter snowflakes censor or ban him and how many of us are still permanently banned from Twitter and won’t go back even if they reinstate the account?
Elon Musk is a member of the WEF. Elon Musk depends on two governments to survive: the US government (SpaceX, Tesla ) and China (Tesla). The idea that he is independent of these entities, and speaks truth to power, is naive at best. And thinking Tucker Carlson is anything but controlled opposition now is naive at best.
The fact that this criminal activity will go unpunished, (as we all know it will) and the majority of the population will never hear about it, is proof that the American state is now a gangster regime.
Sorry, I posted this under the wrong article, it should have been in the one regarding the Biden family corruption
True story where ever you post it.
Sorry for being Cynical, but not sure I trust this. This happens after Tucker interviews Elon Musk? Musk owns how many Starlink satellites? Power corrupts absolutely, Absolute Power corrupts absolutely. By the way Twitter is not the only free speech platform – ever hear of GAB?
https://gab.com/home
Tucker is CIA 100%. He will never talk about controlled demolition, fake moonlanding or electoral fraud
Tucker just elaborated in detail, what I’ve discerned intuitively about mass-media over the past 40+ years.
FWIW, in Soviet Russia, the official newspapers Pravda (“The Truth”) and Izvestia (“The News”) were unabashed in their state-directed functionality. Hence the Russian proverb still applies:
“There is no truth in the news. And there is no news in the truth.”
GBA and GBU, Tucker and Sundance!
I am thoroughly confused, as Elon Musk posted this earlier–
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.
