https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/tucker-carlson-fox-news-contract-dispute-1234731049/Since he was pushed out at Fox, Carlson has fielded potential job offers from far-right networks Rumble and Newsmax as well as from billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. Carlson and Musk have even had a conversation about working together, Mike Allen reports. But Carlson reportedly cannot work for any competitor until his $20-million-per-year contract with Fox expires in January 2025, following the 2024 presidential election. Per Axios, Rumble and Newsmax have offered to pay him more than his Fox contract.
I wonder: does the Muskcage qualify as a Fox competitor?

(92,532 posts)7. and people still justify using twitter that Musk owns. I guess if a racist, sexist, bigot owned
twitter, it would not bother them either
..
Oh wait, it is owned by a racist, sexist, bigot

(1,886 posts)8. Musk thinks that having Tuckems in Twitter
will bring in the disaffected low-brains who quit watching FOX because Hannity alone just didn't give them a hard-on. Thing is, in print Tuckems sounds even more stupid than on screen. Always playing 6-dimensional chess, Eloon.

He's worked for. Yet genius Musk is floating millions to get him? Talk about not being able to read the tea leaves.
