After Tucker Carlson announced that he will be launching a show on Twitter soon, Elon Musk noted that the social media platform did not ink a deal with Carlson, who will face the same rules and be eligible for the same benefits as other content creators on the platform.

Musk also expressed his hope that left-wing figures will also choose to share their content on Twitter.

"On this platform, unlike the one-way street of broadcast, people are able to interact, critique and refute whatever is said. And, of course, anything misleading will get @CommunityNotes. I also want to be clear that we have not signed a deal of any kind whatsoever. Tucker is subject to the same rules & rewards of all content creators," Musk wrote.

"Rewards means subscriptions and advertising revenue share (coming soon), which is a function of how many people subscribe and the advertising views associated with the content. I hope that many others, particularly from the left, also choose to be content creators on this platform," he added.
