The Twitter and Tesla boss, being the night owl that he is, responded to Lemon’s tweet from April 25 confirming his firing from CNN, suggesting that maybe he should take his show to Twitter, says the platform has a bigger audience.

In that same tweet, Musk ended his comments by saying that he hoped “many others, especially from the left, will also choose to become content creators on this platform .
