Former Fox News star Tucker Carlson has just gotten some wonderful news! Carlson officially partnered with billionaire Elon Musk’s “X” platform and landed a huge content deal.
Linda Yaccarino – whom Musk hired earlier this year to head up X – struck a revenue-sharing deal with Tucker Carlson. The details of the agreement have yet to be made public, however it is likely that there will be significantly more content from him on X in the near future.
Also, Carlson’s new media company signed its first significant advertising contract with PublicSq., a conservative-friendly shopping app said to be worth at least $1 million. This deal came shortly before PublicSq. began trading on the New York Stock Exchange and also preceded rumors that other advertisers would soon partner with Carlson ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

PublicSq.’s CEO Michael Seifert noted that their commercials will start airing in November on Carlson’s show on X (formerly Twitter), continuing through the end of 2024 campaign year and appearing across various other platforms as well (including his website).
Further, founding members of PublicSq., such as former Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff Nick Ayers and ex-Republican senator Kelly Loeffler from Georgia have joined its board of directors.
This indicates a strong connection between PublicSQ and Republican leadership which suggests they are looking to make some big moves ahead of 2024 elections – something which Tucker Carlson could help facilitate given his considerable influence within GOP circles. Moreover, Neil Patel – executive at Carlson’s company Last Country – stated that initiatives like these can counterbalance business lobbying giants like U.S Chamber Of Commerce or ecommerce giant Amazon who often times don’t act in favor of GOP interests.
The agreement between Tucker Carlson and X is sure to have a major impact not only for those two entities but also for Republicans going forward into next year’s election season.
