Tucker Carlson Says Elon Musk Taking Over Twitter Would Be A ‘Direct Challenge’ To Liberal Elites

Fox News host and Daily Caller co-host Tucker Carlson argued Tuesday that Elon Musk’s potential takeover of Twitter would be a “direct challenge” to liberal elites.

Carlson argued Musk, who became the largest shareholder of Twitter after buying a 9.2% stake April 4, could reestablish the free exchange of exchange of open debate on the platform.

“If that were to happen, we could see a return of free speech to the United States and nothing should give you more hope than that possibility,” Carlson said. “A free Twitter would mean an open debate about ideas on the single most important incubator of elite opinion in the world. It would mean a return to free and fair elections in the United States. A system in which both sides are allowed to make their case to the public and then the public can decide, it’s called democracy.”

“And above all, a free Twitter would mean a direct challenge to the people in charge of our country’s institutions, many of whom are incompetent.”
