00:04Tucker Carlson will host a new version of his show on Twitter.
00:08The far-right talking head, who was fired from Fox News last month,
00:11made the announcement in a tweet.
00:13Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective.
00:18You are being manipulated.
00:19Carlson's previous contract with Fox included a non-compete clause,
00:23meaning he would not be able to take his show to a competitor.
00:26But, according to Axios,
00:28Carlson is arguing that part of his contract is no longer valid following his firing.
00:33Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter, tweeted after the announcement,
00:37saying a formal deal with the ex-Fox News host had yet to be signed.
00:41Musk also tweeted at Don Lemon, a CNN host who was also fired from his network recently,
00:47asking if he would be interested in hosting his own show on the social media platform.
00:51At the time of publishing this video, Lemon had yet to respond.
