“He’s paid me zero money,” Carlson emphasized.
Reflecting on his time as an employee at Fox News, Carlson expressed his desire to be his own boss and never work for anyone else again.
“I don’t think I ever want to work for anyone again. I’ve done that,” he stated firmly.
However, Carlson made it clear that he intends for his media work to be profitable.
“I’d like to make money. I think that’s fair,” he admitted.
“But I’m not working for Elon Musk.”
“He hasn’t offered to hire me, and even if he did, I wouldn’t accept… What he’s done is offer me the same opportunity he’s given every other Twitter user: a chance to share my views without any gatekeepers,” Carlson explained.
Following the streaming of Carlson’s interview with Brand, nearly one million people tuned in to watch.
