“I don’t know why I was fired. I really don’t. I’m not angry about it. I wish Fox well,” he told podcast host Russell Brand this week in an interview that aired Friday on YouTube.
Also in his interview with Mr. Brand, Mr. Carlson said he isn’t being paid by Twitter or its owner Elon Musk, adding that he doesn’t want to have a boss again. “What social media offers in the short term is an audience and a reason to write,” Mr. Carlson told the podcast host.
