Why is
Tucker hosting his new show on Twitter rather than taking a
sweetheart cable deal or running a show on a platform like YouTube that’s more known for having original video content? Because, according to his biographer, by doing so, he is outsmarting and outmaneuvering Fox News, which didn’t think to include Twitter in its non-compete contract with him.
Such is what the Tucker biographer, Chadwick Moore, told OAN during a recent interview. According to Mr. Moore, Fox News didn’t think to include Twitter in his non-compete contract, so even though he’s still technically under contract with them, he can get away with it. “What I understand is that Fox News didn’t have the foresight to include Twitter in their non-compete in Tucker’s contract,” Moore said.
Then, elaborating on Fox New’s perspective and what appears to be Tucker’s current employment situation, he said, “
So Fox is still, ‘I’m sorry, Tucker is still under contract with Fox.’ He’s still an employee of Fox News. In fact, the last the last time I spoke to him, which is about a week ago, he got his paycheck that morning from Fox. So Fox is paying him to not have a show and a lot of money as you can imagine.”
However, while it might be true that Fox News still employs Tucker, that doesn’t matter if what he’s doing isn’t controlled by the non-compete agreement. So, Tucker’s going to test out Twitter’s new video product, which is meant to compete with YouTube, as his non-compete doesn’t cover using that service. “
But from what I understand is they failed to think that Twitter would ever be a competitor. And so he that’s convenient for him to have a show. Now, what his team has told me about that is that they’re going to test out the product. Twitter is launching a new service, I believe it’s called X video. It’s meant to compete with YouTube, and they’re gonna test it out if the product works well,” Moore said.
Moore then added that, though Tucker has no agreement with Musk to run his show on Twitter or X, he plans on staying on X and using it for his show if he enjoys it and it works well. “
And if they enjoy it, then they’ll stay there but they don’t really feel committed to say there is not an employee of Elon Musk. Elon Musk is not paying him any money. They’re simply going to try it out on Twitter, and then maybe move somewhere else or maybe stay there,” Moore said.
