“We need more journalists like Tucker Carlson and less like Rachel Maddow,” Musk declared at a press conference that seemed more like a TED Talk than a typical media event. “Tucker speaks truth to power. He’s not afraid to tackle the tough issues and tell it like it is, unlike some who are more focused on their feelings than facts.”
Musk and Carlson joining forces is the kind of partnership that sends shockwaves through the political and media landscape. One is a billionaire entrepreneur with a penchant for rockets, electric cars, and the occasional Twitter controversy. The other is a sharp-tongued political commentator whose nightly tirades have earned him both legions of devoted fans and an equal number of detractors.
With Truth Unleashed, Musk and Carlson aim to create a media powerhouse that stands as the antithesis to mainstream news outlets like CNN and MSNBC, which they believe have been overrun by “wokeness” and “censorship.”
“Too many so-called journalists these days are more concerned with appeasing Twitter mobs than reporting the news,” Carlson stated in a promo video for the show. “That’s why this show will be different. No censorship, no political correctness—just the truth, raw and unfiltered.”
