Axios: Fox News threatens legal action against Tucker Carlson over twitter broadcast.

"Fox News Wednesday notified Tucker Carlson's lawyers that the former prime-time anchor violated his contract with the network when he launched his own Twitter show on Tuesday, according to a copy of a letter obtained by Axios.

Why it matters: A breach of contract claim sets Fox News up to explore potential legal action against Carlson, a move that would intensify the already thorny public battle between the two parties."

... FOX is paying him big money to SHUT UP. He's probably still under contract. His job is now easier! That he doesn't just SHUT UP and take the money means he's really into the sick stuff he spews. Or, maybe he wants out of FOX so he can make more money at another network.

At the very least he needs a platform to keep his name out there. If he fades into the background (which Fox seems to been keen on having happen) it destroys any value his public persona has. The worst thing that could happen to Tucker is that his fans move on from him to someone else.

... and see Fox sue Elon for contract interference. He signed the contract, he took the money and his ass belongs to Fox for a certain time. He's paid NOT to play with others.

Fascists consider loyalty weakness while holding treachery in the highest regard.

You can count on it each and every time.

Each can demand the other testify under oath or can subpoena documents and it could bring out more juicy information about both of them. Ooh! Ooh! More Fox sleazy info! More Tucker sleazy info! Can't wait!
