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.

Why does anyone care? He is a liar. He told everyone he is a liar. He said if you believe any of the insane stuff he says, you are crazy. He is a sideshow.
I agree with you and I'm no tucker carlson fan.
However this will be a big blow to MSM if twitter starts making their own news channel feeds.
I mentioned this before as something Elon should do and I'm glad he is doing it , even if its with someone I don't care for.

Tucker suckers are the newest version of Douche Limburger’s Dittoheads. They just sit there bobbing their empty heads up and down, enjoying the steady diet of right-wing red meat: #racism, #misogyny, #fascism, #WelovePutin

OH my, did Tucker put that sand in your vajayjay all by himself? You sound mad....U mad bro?
Quite the opposite. I think it’s really funny.
Only in America can someone as galactically stupid as Tucker keep so many drooling inbreds pacified.

I know, he's got some of them railing on conspiracy sites frantically calling folks on the right silly names and pretending not to be as angry as they are. I think it's funny too.

Predictable move for the White Pride Piper himself.
If he uses the handle "White Grievance Tonight," I wrote a really good jingle just for him.
Can you not be embarrassed ?
You’ve missed the social evolution of America by about 75 years.
Still frantically looking for the klan and nazis, who have been gone since the 50’s.
Can’t function without them.
Are you from the South? (Asking because they’ve been denying the whole racism thing for years.)
