According to the story, executives from Twitter have discussed with the former Fox News presenter ways in which Twitter content, like videos, may be viewed on TV.

According to the source, plans include exploring the prospect of “having a set of big brands sponsor Carlson’s show.”
The source stated that from Twitter’s standpoint, the transaction “would expand the relationship between the platform and one of its highest-profile video creators, and serve as a test case for the social media network’s video ambitions under Elon Musk.”
Musk has stated his desire for the platform to attract left-leaning content providers alongside conservatives like Carlson.
The media initiative, it seems, would include not just a Twitter account but also a website and a mobile app.
According to the article, both Patel and Carlson attended Trinity College in Connecticut and eventually worked together to start the conservative news outlet The Daily Caller, which Patel currently oversees as its editor in chief.
Fox News fired Carlson in April over his Twitter business, but he is still officially under contract with the network.
Carlson’s lawyers have said he has no plans to stop posting videos to Twitter.
