"Elaborate on"

Is there a meaning difference between "elaborate on something" and "elaborate something". For example,

McDonald refused to elaborate on his reasons for resigning , posted by Longman Dictionary, but I also think it is possible without 'on' in meaning. What do you think? Thank you in advance as usual.
