Elon Musk Urges Maddow and Lemon to Bring Their Show to Twitter, Extends Full Support to the Left as Carlson Represents the Sole Conservative Show
On Thursday, Twitter CEO, Elon Musk, asked Lemon and fellow TV host Rachel Maddow to join Tucker Carlson and have their own show on Twitter.
In a tweet, Musk wrote, “It’d be great to have @maddow, @donlemon & others on the left put their shows on this platform. No exclusivity or legal docs required! You will receive our full support. The digital town square is for all.”
If we were Lemon, we’re not sure if we would want to go to CNN or Twitter.
The last few months of his tenure at CNN were filled with controversy. He was accused of misogynistic behavior and was also taken off of CNN This Morning and sent to sensitivity training after he was criticized for comments on Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s age.
Having a show on Twitter could be intriguing, but is Lemon confident enough in his brand and content to have a show on Twitter exclusively? Not to mention that under Musk’s watch, Twitter has been a breeding ground for racist, homophobic and antisemitic language.
Does Lemon want to be associated with that? We doubt it. Time will tell.
