Elon Musk defends cutting Don Lemon's X deal: His approach was 'CNN, but on social media' which 'doesn’t work'
Fox News
Billionaire tycoon Elon Musk said his decision to end his X deal with Don Lemon was over his "approach" to his new show, which he claimed was "CNN, but on social media."
But when asked about why he cut Lemon, Musk suggested Lemon couldn't shake off his CNN "approach." Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to joseph.wulfsohn@fox.com and on Twitter: @JosephWulfsohn.
"His approach was basically just ‘CNN, but on social media’, which doesn’t work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is dying," Musk told an X user Wednesday. "And, instead of it being the real Don Lemon, it was really just Jeff Zucker talking through Don, so lacked authenticity. All this said, Lemon/Zucker are of course welcome to build their viewership on this platform along with everyone else."
