Jim Acosta has announced his new career plans after dramatically leaving CNN over being demoted.
On Tuesday, Acosta announced in a post on X that he will now be going independent and blogging on Substack.
“Hey guys! I’ve started something new. Go check it out!” Acosta wrote in his post, which included a video explaining his plan.

“Hey guys, it’s Jim, and let me just say this: I’ve had quite the day,” Acosta says in the video. “But as you can see, earlier today this was my last day at CNN and I did want to jump on Substack Live for a moment and say welcome to my new venture. I’m going independent, at least for now.”
Acosta went on to once again call President Donald Trump a “tyrant,” much like he did on his farewell moment on CNN.
“Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and hope. And we’ll keep this conversation going,” Acosta said in the video.
