The Daily Wire will reportedly make all of their podcast shows available on Twitter beginning May 30, the conservative media company confirmed to Mediaite.

Axios first reported that the Daily Wire is bringing its successful video podcasts to Elon Musk’s social media platform, which the billionaire is seeking to turn into a haven for podcasting and video content.

In a statement on Tuesday, Daily Wire’s CEO Jeremy Boreing called Twitter “the largest free speech platform in the world.”

“If Elon Musk stands by his commitment to make Twitter a home for free speech and delivers on monetization opportunities and more sophisticated analytics for content creators, I imagine we will invest even more into the platform,” Boreing said.

Currently, Daily Wire shows are uploaded in full length to their perspective YouTube channels. But after May 30, the full shows will only be available on Twitter and the company’s paywalled site, Daily Wire+.

The Daily Wire has had its fair share of issues with YouTube. Back in April, Daily Wire host Matt Walsh had his YouTube channel demonetized over his comments about transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Since then, the company has been releasing his show on Twitter.

The move also comes in the wake of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson — who has reportedly been courted by the Daily Wire — bringing his own show to Twitter, which is expected to launch soon.

“Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren’t many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world. The only one is Twitter. Where we are now,” Carlson said in a May 9 announcement.

Correction: A previous version of this story said The Daily Wire was leaving YouTube for Twitter. A spokesperson for the outlet told Mediaite it will not be leaving YouTube.
