Tucker deletes tweet that got him suspended, pretends Musk restored his account

But for 60 seconds during Tucker Carlson Tonight, a Fox News chyron framed Musk as having “unshackled” the host on Twitter.

A chyron that read “MUSK BUYING TWITTER IS THE LEFT’S WORST NIGHTMARE” was replaced at 8:10 p.m. ET by one that implied Musk had set the host free from Twitter jail.

“UNSHACKLED BY ELON MUSK: FREE SPEECH RESTORED; @TUCKERCARLSON BACK ON TWITTER,” a second chyron read until 8:11 p.m. ET.

Carlson made no mention of his own account on Twitter, which has been locked, during the monologue. But between his show and tweet, the host acted as though he wanted to give people the impression he was “unshackled” by Musk.
