In the two months since Tucker Carlson announced his Twitter show, the former Fox News personality's popularity seems to be fading.
aired, it hasn’t surpassed 33 million views. His eighth and latest episode—released on June 30—has managed only 9.1 million views as of publication. It’s also worth noting that those numbers can be easily misconstrued: The view count attached to all tweets—whether video, photo, or text—refers to the number of times a tweet was seen by anyone who came across it.
All of this to say, Carlson’s social media adventure is perhaps not going as well as he’d hoped when he hailed it as the last big free speech platform left in the world. But Carlson also doesn’t seem wedded to Twitter, despite the fact thatwho purchased the platform last October, has transformed it into a conservative haven. “I’m not working for Elon Musk. He hasn’t offered to hire me and if he did I wouldn’t accept.
In the same interview, Carlson told Brand that he still doesn’t know why Fox News terminated his show. And while the network, where Carlson remains under contract through December 2024, has activelyCarlson insisted that he harbors no ill will toward the company. “I was shocked, but I wasn’t really shocked, and I wasn’t mad. It’s not my company,” he said, adding later, “I don’t know why I was fired—I really don’t. I’m not angry about it.
When Carlson first lost his Fox News show, which for years had been among the network’s highest-rated programs, many questioned whether Carlson could hang on to relevance without Fox’s backing. It’s likely still too early to tell, but Twitter, at least right now, does really seem like only a short-term solution for the conservative personality.
