Looks like Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk have worked out some kind of exclusive deal for Tucker Carlson's show. Video below the fold.

But meanwhile: Carlson accuses Fox of breach of contract and fraud.

Tucker Carlson, two weeks after being ousted by Fox News, accused the network Tuesday of fraud and breach of contract -- and made a host of document demands that could precede legal action.

Why it matters: The aggressive letter from his lawyers to Fox positions Carlson to argue that the noncompete provision in his contract is no longer valid -- freeing him to launch his own competing show or media enterprise.

On Tuesday, Carlson announced he would be bringing his show to Twitter,.
"Starting soon we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter," he said in the video. "We bring some other things too, which we'll tell you about. But for now we're just grateful to be here. Free speech is the main right that you have. Without it, you have no others."

The intrigue: The Twitter move would seem to technically violate Carlson's contract with Fox, but his lawyers' letter effectively holds that Fox breached the contract first.

I don't know if this will breach his contract. Tucker has always had the right to post on social media as he chooses. He'll just be posting a bit more on social media than he used to.

Fox may have a contract for his exclusive television rights but they don't own his rights to just speak generally.

I don't think there'll be money involved. Because taking money would almost certainly breach Tucker's contract. Then Fox could sue him and attempt to get a court to force him to stay off the air.

Rather, I think Tucker will be doing this show for free. At least for now.

Why?

To put pressure on Fox. To let them know he'll compete against them, even if he's not getting paid any money to do it. To let them know that this isn't 2003 any more -- keeping someone off of television doesn't keep them from speaking and mounting a show to compete with you.

So they might as well free him from his contract.

I imagine his Twitter show will therefore play at... 8pm. With a possible "rebroadcast" at 11pm, to also hurt Fox's West Coast time zone ratings.
