On the heels of Elon Musk's very blunt message to advertisers for refusing to stand up to the censorship industrial complex, Greg Gutfeld had the following remarks:

The tweet, which includes a transcript of Gutfeld's remarks, reads in full:
NEW: Fox News guests get visibly uncomfortable after host Greg Gutfeld calls out advertisers and his employer for firing Tucker Carlson. You could feel the tension in that room. “Musk may be the last man standing between real freedom of speech and the suffocating block of the censorship industrial complex.” “He realizes that advertisers have no spine and could be easily cowed by special interest groups in cahoots with political allies.” “If you don't believe me, I got two words for you: Tucker Carlson.”
That's gonna leave a mark.
The tension in the room was definitely palpable:
They wanted to laugh but didn’t know if they were allowed to.

Media platforms, including social media platforms, are so quick to cave to the whims of advertisers who in their turn have caved to the whims of the mob.
That's a really bold move, but he is also 100% correct. Fox News cost themselves millions of dollars in revenue and viewers. They should have never fired Tucker.

It IS a bold move, and one that is very much appreciated.
OMG. He went there. Will he be the next to be fired at Fox? Much respect for Greg.

Yes, he went there, and while we hope Fox isn't foolish enough to fire him next, something tells us that Gutfeld will land on his feet. The truth always wins in the end.
Much respect, indeed.
