The Elon Musk interview that got Don Lemon's show canceled

[itsjustme2]

I am not sure what the fuss is about, honestly. Elon didn't storm off the set, he answered all the questions asked, Don seemed to pick up on some negative vibes but of course he would since they're having an intense discussion where there were several points at which they had to simply disagree and move to the next subject.

Don irritated the guy who invited him into a partnership and then that partnership was rescinded. Don himself prefaces the clip by saying his show wasn't cancelled by X. Seems pretty in line with what Elon said in the interview about how everyone's free to post, but that doesn't mean X will promote it. X decided not to promote Don Lemon's show.

It's just another case of "spaceman bad". Even his recent comment about Microsoft requiring a user account for installing Windows seemingly made some people make a 180 just to disagree with him.

Embarrassing for Musk to be so fragile, and embarrassing for Lemon to have been naive enough to think having a show on X would end any other way.

Is it actually embarrassing for Lemon? He took Musk at his word, and Musk proved to the world once again that his commitment to free speech is one-sided. Who else would have had the opportunity to expose Musk's hypocrisy in this manner?

If Lemon's so-called naivety was so embarrassing, why would he publish the interview in a different venue? Sounds to me like Lemon doesn't have anything to hide here, and all the egg is on Musk's face. If anything, engaging with Twitter looks like a smart move on Lemon's part because the attempted cancellation raised public interest in the interview. The opposite of naive.

It's a huge win for Lemon, he gets to start his show off with this interview.

You're just saying this nonsense because you hate Musk because he's not a democrat anymore. That's where all the hate you have stems from.

With that said, he was given the same opportunity to other democratic leaders and they are on the platform with no issues.

Don was being a complete jerk and wasn't being genuine. Don has always been disingenuous and full of it. Plus everyone thats worked with him at CNN hated him

I mean, while it was inevitable it would implode, I must say I’m _slightly_ surprised that it has imploded before it event _started_.

Is this the striesisand effect for Don Lemon, or was this a a clever trick by musk and co to get more press over this?

Horrible people can create great things.this does not mean society should chancel great things or their makers.the moonlanding was an archievement for all mankind. Even though nazis built the rocket. Should also be obvious that it shouldn't be a platform for the monsters to propagandize there believes.

[fieldcny]

Your comment leaves me scratching my head as it is all over the place.

We all need to just stop paying attention to Musk, he’s nothing more that a gussied up Musk supremcist dork with skin so thin he’s more translucent than he is white.

He’s made a career out of taking big risks with other people’s money and being saved by absurd fed policies while also milking the government for every last nickel he can squeeze out of it

One can argue the German rocket scientists squirreled out by the US to work for NASA were not Nazi ideologues or mass murderers working in the death camps but merely paid lip service like most Germans and joined the party and the war effort to save their scientific careers and lives.

Dr Mengele on the other hand.
