Don Lemon went into a dramatic meltdown on Monday, while discussing who Twitter CEO Elon Musk was seated with during Super Bowl LVII between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. At one point in the game, the cameras panned to Musk who was seen in a box with Fox Corp. Chairman and News Corp. Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch, as well as Murdoch’s daughter, Elizabeth.
The pictures absolutely triggered Lemon who remarked, “Wow, they actually did it. It’s a little frightening, I must say.” Watch the clip below:

His co-hosts didn’t seem to be as surprised though, as Kaitlan Collins and Ben Smith both agreed that “it seems like the most predictable thing in the world.” “It stood out, but it wasn’t like, ‘Oh, wow,’” Collins remarked.
Twitter and users on social media reacted to the clip of Musk and the Murdochs differently, speculating what they may be discussing. Musk responded to one post, “dogecoin” — a cryptocurrency that he often promotes.

According to Conservative Brief:
As for Lemon, he’s had a rough time since being moved from a primetime evening solo gig to playing co-host of the network’s revamped morning show.
According to the New York Post, tensions on the set of “CNN This Morning” are rising as the show tanks and as Lemon, apparently, is unhappy sharing on-air duties with co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Collins. The report said that Lemon had a tense moment in December off-camera, “screaming” at Collins in an “incident that has left the cast and crew rattled ever since.”
The Post noted: “According to two sources with knowledge of the situation, the 56-year-old Lemon approached 30-year-old Collins following the show’s Thursday, Dec. 8 broadcast — and unloaded on her in front of staffers as he accused her of “interrupting” him on air. News of the explosive incident made it’s way up to CNN CEO Chris Licht, who is said to have been appalled by Lemon’s behavior, according to a source. A second source said a producer talked to Lemon at the behest of Licht and told the anchor to take the next day off to cool off.”
“Don screamed at Kaitlan, who was visibly upset and ran out of the studio,” one source with knowledge of the incident told The Post
