Elon Musk Interview That Ended Lemon's Partnership With Twitter/X

Gutfeld! — Don Lemon Demanded Tesla Cybertruck, $5M Advance, Equity in X Before Musk Canned Him

Last week, Twitter/X owner Elon Musk cancelled the platform's partnership with former CNN host Don Lemon. This decision came mere hours after the two had filmed an interview for The Don Lemon Show, a new talk show that would have been exclusive to Twitter/X.

Now The Don Lemon Show's premiere episode has been released, offering a look at the footage that may have prompted Musk to bring the collaboration to an unexpected and abrupt end. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't the softball, feelgood chat the billionaire had likely been hoping for.

Released Monday on Twitter/X, YouTube, and as an audio podcast, the hour-long interview began cordially enough. Musk largely agreed with Lemon's characterisation of him as a "free speech absolutist," adding the caveat that he was for free speech "as much as possible within the bounds of the law."

However, the interview quickly strayed into more sensitive subjects that had Tesla's CEO noticeably uncomfortable. Musk was demure about his recent meeting with Donald Trump, asserting that the former president did not ask him for money, but declining to provide any detail on exactly what they'd spoken about. Lemon also asked Musk about his sobriety when making controversial statements, prompting the latter to deny any impairment and state that he uses prescription ketamine to help him get out of a "depressive mind state" every other week.

Lemon then questioned Musk about a Twitter/X post which used the phrase "Hispanic invasion," which he reportedly quoted and shared.

"If I quote something, it doesn't mean I agree with everything in it," said Musk. "It's just something that I want — I think this is something worth — people should consider."
