Elon Musk, the owner of X, has fired back at extremists on the platform who are calling for the arrest and treason charges against journalist Tucker Carlson simply for conducting an interview with Vladimir Putin.
The backlash against Tucker intensified after he released a video explaining his decision to interview the Russian leader.
Leftists, RINOs, Neocons, and other opponents of free speech wasted no time in labeling Carlson a traitor and even a Russian asset, demanding his arrest.
In response, Carlson revealed that he had spoken with Elon Musk about the interview, and Musk has pledged to host it on X without any interference or censorship.
“Elon Musk, to his great credit, has promised not to suppress or block this interview once we post it on his platform X, and we’re grateful for that,” Carlson emphasized, pointing out the contrast with Western governments’ attempts to censor the video on less principled platforms.
Carlson also raised concerns about potential spying on his communications, alleging that operatives linked to the Biden Administration may have engaged in such activities.
“Almost three years ago, the Biden administration illegally spied on our text messages and then leaked their contents to their servants in the news media,” Carlson recounted. “They did this in order to stop a Putin interview that we were planning. Last month, we’re pretty certain they did exactly the same thing once again. But this time, we came to Moscow anyway.”
When asked for comment, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed the allegations as “ridiculous.”
“It’s a ridiculous premise and a ridiculous statement that was made about this administration,” Jean-Pierre retorted.
