Ahead Of Historic Tucker/Putin Interview, “X” Tops App Store Downloads
“It’s almost as though you can’t trust the media.” ~Elon Musk
BY TYLER DURDEN
Ahead of Tucker Carlson’s interview with President Vladimir Putin, Elon Musk’s “X” social media platform, known for upholding free speech, has seen a surge in downloads by iPhone and iPad users on Apple’s App Store. This anticipation for the interview, which has the potential to break the internet (and only exclusive on X and Tucker’s website), has already caused a stir among neoconservatives and the legacy media outlets that oversee the censorship-industrial complex, especially since Carlson was seen in Moscow this week.

“X is the number 1 free app in the App Store right now, beating out ChatGPT, Threads, and TikTok,” X user Whole Mars Catalog said.
Congratulations X team and @elonmusk

X user DogeDesigner pointed out that no matter how many misinformation campaigns (read: here) legacy media runs against X, the reality is: “𝕏 is the #1 app in the AppStore.” Musk chimed in by quoting the post: “It’s almost as though you can’t trust the media.”

Research firm SensorTower also showed X soaring to the top of the App Store ahead of Tucker’s interview with Putin, which is expected to be released late Thursday afternoon. X now ranks number one in all free categories and news.
While legacy media in the free world melts down over the upcoming interview.
…Europeans, supposedly in the free Western world, want to sanction the journalist.
If true, this would be disturbing indeed.
One may agree with Tucker or not, but he is a major American journalist and such an action would greatly offend the American public. https://t.co/IYqOzfWHf9

Why didn’t the EU want to sanction these corporate media journos?
As a journalist, Trucker has the autonomy to interview Putin without needing to justify his actions. He is not bound by the Biden administration, the censorship-industrial complex, or any corporate media outlets, and corporations, which means those on X are about to receive diverse viewpoints about Urakine from the other side that might allow folks to wake up about how NATO and Russia are on the cusp of WW3.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration’s efforts to suppress diverse viewpoints and inhibit critical debate are eroding the foundational principles of democratic societies.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
