‘I Don’t Work for Elon’: Tucker Discloses How Much Money He’s Made Since Taking Show to Twitter

👤Tucker Carlson is done taking orders.

The former 📺Fox News host revealed the business breakdown of his new media venture.

Carlson was speaking in an 🎙️Interview with British comedian Russell Brand, streamed live on Rumble Friday.

📺 Embedded media — coming soon

The interview was Carlson’s first since his abrupt termination from Fox.

Carlson revealed that he’s broadcasting “Tucker on Twitter” merely as a user of the platform — without commercial strings attached.

“I don’t work for Elon,” Carlson said of the platform’s mega-billionaire owner.

“He’s paid me zero 💰Money.”

Carlson cited his experiences as an employee of 📺Fox News — opting for an alternative in which he could act as his own boss.

“I don’t think I ever want to work for anyone again. I’ve done that.”

Carlson did clarify that he intends for his media work to be profitable.

“I’d like to make 💰Money. I think that’s fair.”

“But I’m not working for 👤Elon Musk.”

“He hasn’t offered to hire me, and if he did I wouldn’t accept … What he’s done is offer me what he’s offered every other user of Twitter, which is a chance to broadcast your views without a gatekeeper there.”

Carlson’s 🎙️Interview with Brand was viewed by nearly one million people in the hours following its streaming.

As 📺Fox News’ prime-time host, Carlson dominated cable news ratings for years — leading some of his viewers to question why he was ultimately terminated from the network.

Carlson indicated during the 🎙️Interview that he didn’t know why he was ultimately fired from Fox in April, according to Deadline.

Carlson was paid between $15 and $20 million for hosting “👤Tucker Carlson Tonight,” according to Forbes.
