Elon Musk has a new enemy: Fox News
The TV station wants to ban its former star presenter Tucker Carlson from broadcasting on Twitter. On the one hand, this shows the fear of the US news channels – and on the other hand, what Elon Musk really wants to do with Twitter.

“Not true at all”: It is quite interesting that this expression of defiant toddler protests is an apt summary of the current political debate in the USA (and not only there, by the way). It’s also interesting that, when you add in the angry teenage exclamation, “That’s so unfair!” adds, a near-perfect description of the social divide and the state of the US news industry.
And that puts you right in the middle of the feud between the TV broadcaster Fox News and its former star presenter Tucker Carlson, who has recently let his personal opinion on the state of the nation flop out of his mouth on the Elon Musk platform Twitter. In this constellation, people with the minds of children and teenagers argue with each other, they choose similar words – and when the other talks, they cover their ears and yell “Nanananananana”.
Quick reminder: Carlson guaranteed ratings for the right-wing populist cable channel Fox for years because he simply said what his viewers wanted to hear every evening. And he was recently fired not because he did it in a toddler-teenager defiance style, but because the company had to pay $ 787.5 million in an out-of-court settlement with the voting machine manufacturer Dominion in April – also because of false Tucker-Carlson allegations a trial could have turned out worse for Fox.
