@Roadside Picnic I imagine his assumption comes from when Celestia was able to wield the Elements by herself to banish Luna. However, you have to keep in mind that Celestia had already been ruling for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, and her abilities were probably much more developed than when she ascended the throne.

In other words, even though she's now an alicorn, I wouldn't expect Twilight to be wielding the Elements any time soon.
