Elon Musk's Platform
In a blog post, X said it sees itself as a “video-first platform.” Reuters They say users watch videos in 80% of their sessions.
With the announcement of at least three new shows, the platform is definitely moving in that direction.
First, X announced a partnership with politician Tulsi Gabbard for a documentary-style series.
“An Army Reserve officer, veteran, four-term congresswoman, and 2020 presidential candidate, she will share her unique POV of X through an exclusive series of documentary-style videos and broader content.” the platform says. announced.
The former congressman is something of a defector from the Democratic Party, with Hillary Clinton calling herRussian assets. ”
Just 15 minutes after the initial announcement, X told his followers: “For the first time ever, we're bringing his wildly popular content to digital video,” said sports commentator Jim Rome.
A sports broadcaster since the late 1980s, Roma has been a controversial figure in the sports world for his uncensored opinions and stubborn attitude. Perhaps most famously, Rome got into an altercation with an NFL quarterback on his own show in 1994.
Quarterback Jim Everett got mad by comparing Roma to a female tennis player, so he turned the tide and pushed Roma down.
Thirty minutes after Gabbard's initial announcement, X dropped the news that former CNN anchor Don Lemon would also be appointed. host an exclusive show.
“We are pleased to announce a new content partnership with Don Lemon for his new project, 'The Don Lemon Show,'” the platform said in a statement. “The award-winning television journalist brings his unique, honest voice to life in three half-hour episodes a week covering politics, culture, sports and entertainment.”
Lemon worked at CNN for about 13 years before being abruptly fired in 2023. The host's commentary was arguably becoming too risqué for CNN, especially when presidential candidate Nikki Haley drew criticism for saying she was “not in her prime.”
