Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk suggested Twitter could be a platform where Tucker Carlson could prosper after the Fox News primetime host departed the network on Monday.

Carlson had been a fixture at Fox News since 2009, and had hosted his own primetime “Tucker Carlson Tonight” show from November 2016 until his final installment last Friday. Over the lifespan of the program, Carlson had attracted a large audience and led one of the most popular cable television news shows ever—often attracting more than 3 million viewers per episode.
