First Tucker, now…Lemon?
It looks like Twitter CEO Elon Musk has a job offer for recently ousted CNN anchor Don Lemon: come do a show over on Twitter.
“Have you considered doing your show on this platform? Maybe worth a try. Audience is much bigger,” Musk replied to Lemon’s CNN termination announcement posted on April 24th.

No word yet on whether Lemon will accept.
From the New York Post:
Lemon was let go from CNN last month amid a slew of scandals, including sexist remarks aimed at 51-year-old GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley, who he said was not “in her prime,” as well as clashes with his “CNN This Morning” co-host Kaitlan Collins.
At the time, the embattled, 57-year-old anchor tweeted that he was never given “any indication” that he would not be able to keep working at CNN — a bone of contention with the network — and he has since hired a lawyer to look into his termination.
Musk’s timely job offer comes a day after former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who was coincidentally also let go from his network on April 24, said he would launch a show on Twitter.
