He didn't. Elijiah Muhammad did because Malcolm broke apart from the nation of Islam, and after his trip to Mecca, returned to the US to preach a radically different and more peaceful Islam than what Elijiah Muhammad was teaching. Also Malcolm made public the corruption taking place within the nation (elijiah impregnating teenage secretaries, etc.)
