The Hill provided more background information:

In June, Carlson started a new show on Twitter called “Tucker on Twitter,” claiming Twitter is the last big remaining platform that allows free speech.

Carlson closed his first episode on Twitter stating, “We’re told there are no gatekeepers here.

If that turns out to be false, we’ll leave. But in the meantime, we’re grateful to be here.” The episode gained more than 70 million views within the first day.
