Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel plan to start a media company

Tucker Carlson, who has repeatedly criticized the policies of U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration, plans to start raising funds to launch his own media company together with former White House adviser Neil Patel. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Carlson and Patel intend to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to launch the company, which will be based on the author Carlson’s program on Twitter. It will have its own website and application, most of the content will be available by subscription, but users of Twitter and other social networks will be able to watch shortened versions of the program, interviews and documentaries.

Carlson has held several meetings with Twitter representatives. The parties discussed the possibility of bringing in several major brands that could sponsor an episode of the show. Carlson and Patel have also hired financiers, lawyers and media strategists.

Carlson and Patel were roommates while attending Trinity College (Connecticut), where both graduated in 1991. In 2010, they worked together to create the conservative news portal Daily Caller, which is still owned by Patel.
