Elon Musk has been talking with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson about possibly working together, according to a new report from Axios. The news comes after Carlson was abruptly pulled off the air by Fox, despite hosting the most popular cable news show in the U.S.

"Axios has learned that Carlson and Elon Musk had a conversation about working together, but didn't discuss specifics," Axios reported on Sunday.

Musk was interviewed on Carlson's show in mid-April, where the two seemed to genuinely like each other. Musk, who became CEO of Twitter after he bought the company in October 2022, defended going on Carlson's show after receiving criticism over the host's racist fearmongering.
