According to a new report from Axios, Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk may have had a conversation about working together following Tucker’s recent departure from Fox News.
The wildly popular host was unexpectedly dropped from the right-leaning network last month and is reportedly seeking to retaliate by launching his own media network. Unfortunately for his fans, Tucker’s contract with Fox bars him from working for anyone else until 2025, when the contract expires. This frustrating detail may prevent Tucker from returning to TV (Rumble and Newsmax have reportedly made him offers worth more than his original contract) until after next year’s presidential election.
Those close to Tucker say that he is prepared to go to war with Fox to release him from the contract.
One friend told Axios that the media star is gathering allies who will hit the network in a coordinated, “quiet and clean” attack, but are waiting for his signal.
"Now, we're going from peacetime to Defcon 1. His team is preparing for war. He wants his freedom."
Tucker’s lawyer also chimed in: “The idea that anyone is going to silence Tucker and prevent him from speaking to his audience is beyond preposterous.”
If the commentator is loosed from his contract, his exact future is still unclear, but a future in media seems all but guaranteed. One possible venture apparently may include a partnership with the CEO of Twitter, a collaboration that would thrill many of both men’s fans.
Both Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk have been perceived as anti-elitist, anti-ruling class black sheep. While Tucker is regarded by many Americans as one of the only relatable personalities in national media, Musk has a similar reputation in his respective field. The American people, particularly those who distrust the mainstream media, have not taken well to Tucker’s departure, and his former time slot’s ratings have plummeted from 3.05 million viewers the Wednesday before his exit to 1.33 million the next week.
Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox only confirmed his own narrative that the fight in America between We the People and the establishment is very real. Millions of Americans trusted Tucker to tell the truth about politics, and now that he has been “silenced,” it seems the establishment attempt to control the narrative has succeeded. But if we know anything about Tucker, he isn’t about to quit.
In the months leading up to his departure from Fox, Tucker Carlson voiced public support for Convention of States. Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States, even made an appearance on his last show.
