per CNN. “I will be interviewing Ron DeSantis, and he has quite an announcement to make,” Musk said. “And it will be the first time that something like this is happening on social media and with real-time questions and answers, unscripted.”NBC News first reported the planned conversation between DeSantis and Musk.Twitter will then become host to Daily Wire podcasts, which will shift away from airing full episodes on YouTube beginning May 30.

Each show will receive a corresponding Twitter account to distribute content and promote the shows’ sponsors.“The overwhelming amount of positive feedback from our advertisers and audience after putting ‘The Matt Walsh Show’ on Twitter signals to us there is tremendous opportunity, which is why we’ve decided to distribute the rest of our shows on Twitter,” Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing said in a statement. “If Elon Musk stands by his commitment to make Twitter a home for free speech and delivers on monetization opportunities and more sophisticated analytics for content creators, I imagine we will invest even more into the platform.”Shows migrating to Twitter include “The Ben Shapiro Show,” “The Dr.

Jordan Peterson Podcast,” “Candace Owens Podcast,” “The Michael Knowles Show,” “The Andrew Klavan Show,” “The Comments Section With Brett Cooper,” “Morning Wire,” “Crain & Company” and the previously shifted “The Matt Walsh Show.”Axios first reported that the conservative media outlet will place its content on Musk’s “largest free speech platform in the world.”The decision echoes former Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s move to Twitter after his ouster from the conservative news outlet.Carlson announced May 9 that he would be moving his show to Twitter, which he called the only “free speech”.
