When Lemon said he was going to have a show on "X", amidst the Elton antics and their hosting people like Tucker Carlson, I was skeptical and wondered why he did it. It seems this issue was precipitated by Elron throwing a fit after Lemon interviewed him. From another article, Elron said, in a very realistic and obviously normal statement:

“His approach was basically just ‘CNN, but on social media’, which doesn’t work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is dying,” Musk wrote. “And, instead of it being the real Don Lemon, it was really just [former CNN chief] Jeff Zucker talking through Don, so lacked authenticity.”

Right, I'm sure that after CNN fired Lemon and he left to have his own show, "Jeff Zucker is talking through Don".
