Just one tiny little difference: Tucker Carlson's "Good Evening" video on twitter is over 24 million views.

Lot of interesting things in the "Tucker to Twitter" move -

Elon is already hounding Don Lemon about doing a program on the platform, so he can look "bipartisan" - doubt that Lemon will risk his severance for that.

Is Twitter capable of millions of people watching a :30 minute or longer video on their phones and/or laptops? That's a lot of bandwidth for an app not designed for it?

It's the ultimate no lose for Carlson. If it works, he can throw Twitter under the bus and go anywhere. If it fails, he can blame Musk for a shitty platform.

Am I wrong thinking many of the folks that watched him on Fox are not folks that are using Twitter?

Just the first thought that crossed my mind when I heard about the Twitter thing.
Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. There's no going back, and we can only go forward before we run out of runway.
