Don Lemon says Elon Musk canceled his new show after "tense" interview

https://www.axios.com/2024/03/13/elon-must-don-lemon-x-show-canceled

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon said on Wednesday that Elon Musk canceled his new show on X, formerly Twitter, after he interviewed the multibillionaire last week.

Why it matters: The split comes as X CEO Linda Yaccarino announced the platform is shifting to "video first" and Musk has tried to broker deals with high-profile content creators.

What they're saying: Lemon claimed Musk, a self-proclaimed free speech "absolutist," was "mad" at him over the "tense" interview, which will be included in the premiere episode of "The Don Lemon Show" next week.

"Apparently, free speech absolutism doesn't apply when it comes to questions about him from people like me," Lemon said in a video on X.
"There were no restrictions on the interview that he willingly agreed to, and my questions were respectful and wide ranging, covering everything from SpaceX to the presidential election," Lemon said in a separate post.
Lemon said he agreed to join X with the new show after Musk publicly encouraged him to do so.

There are clips from interview here.

In the past two years Musk always looks like he is in the middle of mental breakdown. And it all started once he bought Twitter and then went into politics and became full on maga Qanon. With constantly reposting all the crazy nonsense that maga qanons make up. And you could see how much it affected his mental health.

He used to be this happy confident guy when he was doing space stuff. Now he has mental breakdown after every question he doesn't like. And sees this as personal attack. And he agrees himself to do interview with no forbidden questions. LOL.

This is because he is victim of professional brainwashing. Trumpists and russians brainwashed him and put things into his head. And like all victims - he can only repeat it. He can't think for himself. It makes sense to him when someone else wrote it. But when he goes into discussion and has to defend his position and opponent asks him questions about this and this and points at inconsistencies - victims of brainwashing can't prove their argument. Because they don't know how. So they get irritated, close their ears and run away from conversation.

This is what Musk did. Reporter was like: "Ok you think this and this. Let's have conversation and you will explain me your point of view". And Musk lost it and had a meltdown because he can't. Because it's so easy to sit on Twitter in echo chamber and repost fellow trump bloggers and get likes from fellow magas. Everything makes sense to him in that world. But then he goes outside and can't deal with real world.

What is more hilarious how Musk keeps saying about Free Speech on Twitter. While simultaneously banning anti-trump and anti-russia accounts. I know few who were banned. As it with all those fake prophets - his free speech only applies to him to say what he wants. But when people disagree with him - he want's to ban them or run away. Because he can't take free speech.

He really should get help and lay off Twitter for a while. Being devoted trumpists, pro-nazi-russia and qanon makes him living on the edge of mental breakdown.

Lemon has always been agenda driven. No matter what you think of Musk, Lemon already had his objective set before he talked to Musk.

[–] emori (3678) a year ago

It's not about Lemon. If Musk agrees to interview and to no questions are out of limits. And then has mental breakdown at every easy question - something is wrong with him. And it's not the first time. He has those meltdowns at every interview he does.

He can't take any question that is not licking his ass. Any other - he immediately get intense and like he is about to cry if pressed further. There is something wrong with his mentally. He wasn't like that until he brought twitter and started sitting there all days, re-posting qanon maga nonsense.

His "right to free speech" also includes his not having to answer questions he doesn't want to. We have since found out that Musk fired Lemon because of his insane money demands:

[–] emori (3678) a year ago

Sure, Elon. That's exactly what happened. LOL.

Team Lemon already answered: "This is absolute, complete utter nonsense without an iota of truth to it.”

Musk really shouldn't have include that stupid Tesla Cybertruck when he was making that fake document. There is no way Lemon would ask for that. Because there is no way he would drive it. Lemon has $101,985 dollars to buy one if he would want. He would not ask that stupid thing for free.

The only reason Musk included that ridiculous fake "demand" is because it's his vanity project and he wants to make impression everyone are obsessed with it and want it. While it was his fan-boys who were obsessed with it. Serious people drive serious and cool cars. And that stupid rusty Cybertruck is not that.

[–] johnmiller (4011) a year ago

Yes, that's "exultantly" what happened. LOL.

he stated a few months ago, that if people weren't using x as their financial hub by the end of 2024 (or something like that), it would literally blow his mind

it wasn't that exact statement but it was something similar and I cant be f***ed to google it

got a broom?

Are there any idiots who would trust their money to this idiot? He almost bankrupted Twitter with his incompetence.

Not to mention that he keeps banning people on Twitter. His "free speech" nonsense was just an empty promise. People are still being banned permanently on Twitter. Just for writing comments. And they have to create new accounts. When he promised it will not be happening anymore. I read about it. And those people can't even permanently delete their accounts because it says they are banned and can't do that operation.

So imagine you would allow access to your money to this clown. And then he bans you for some comments his censorship people would not like. And bam - you are locked out of your accounts and can't do anything.

Not to mention Twitter accounts get hacked all the time. So it means thieves can easily get access to your money.

and that cage fight that never happened..
gotta admit. clever publicity (not genius, just clever). I think you need to have credentials like being rich (or even the richest person in the world), to get away with talking about nothing but that for 2 weeks, then it not happening

lets say Jedward say they are going to do a cage fight and the cage fight never happens - it would just be noise

[–] emori (3678) a year ago

Media let him go easy after he chickened out from the fight he proposed himself. It was hilarious when Facebook guy accepted his offer and then he had to actually fight. But all his old fat ass could do was to stage pictures when he pretend to fight some stuntman. And then run away like a coward he is.

I would lose all trust for Jedward after that.

Lemonhead is an idiot who sucks donkey. But man, what the fuck was wrong with Elon? He's a smart guy. What an embarrassing interview for him. At one point it seemed as if Lemon was almost feeling sorry for him.
