Elon Musk is clearing things up after Tucker Carlson announced he was producing a version of his Fox News show for Twitter.
“On this platform, unlike the one-way street of broadcast, people are able to interact, critique and refute whatever is said,” Musk tweeted.

Twitter is not a partisan site, everybody’s allowed here, and we think that’s a good thing.”
