<p>The media world is bracing for a shakeup as Tucker Carlson, the well-known conservative American host recently ousted from Fox News, is set to release an exclusive interview with Vladimir Putin. He is backed in this endeavor by the owner of X, <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-elon-musk-loses-56-billion-the-market-trembles/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elon Musk</a>.</p>

<p>In a <a href="https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1754945711613850085?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">video</a> posted on X, Tucker Carlson has laid out the motivations behind this historic interview. Citing a duty to authentic journalism, Carlson highlighted the importance of informing the American public about critical issues, including the situation in Ukraine and the strained relations between Russia and the United States.</p> 
<p>This approach aims to provide a balanced perspective, far from the propaganda that, according to Carlson, characterizes many traditional media outlets.</p> 
<p>He believes that the American public, which substantially funds aid to Kiev, should have access to all information.</p> 
<p>This iconoclastic move is far from unanimously accepted, with some seeing it as a golden bridge extended to Kremlin propaganda. Especially since Tucker Carlson has never hidden his favorable positions towards Vladimir Putin, downplaying his expansionist aims before the February 2022 invasion.</p> 
<p>While the broadcast date is not yet set, Tucker Carlson assures that the interview will be available to the public “without censorship”. X’s new boss, Elon Musk, will be responsible for publishing it in full on the platform.</p> 
<p>The billionaire himself has expressed doubts on several occasions about the validity of American aid to Ukraine. His support for Tucker Carlson reflects his desire to make X a space for unfettered freedom of expression.</p>

<p>Whether considered appropriate or not, Putin’s interview by Tucker Carlson is already making waves. The mere announcement of his trip to Moscow has been viewed 61 million times on X.</p> 
<p>Carlson, whose show on Fox gathered up to 5 million viewers, enjoys considerable clout in American conservative circles. His recurrent criticism of US support for Ukraine could thus reach a wider audience.</p>

<p>The interview also comes at an opportune time for Putin, whose voice is rarely heard directly in the West. Given the controversies it is already raising, there is no doubt that the broadcasted excerpts will be subject to in-depth analysis.</p> 
<p>Between true insight and a PR stunt, this face-to-face Putin – Carlson is likely to mark a turning point in the informational battle over the Ukrainian conflict. Time will tell if the Russian revelations will influence the Western support for Kiev.</p>
