It was inane. I was thinking, "Is Don Lemon Demented? Deaf? Distracted?" It was very frustrating to watch. I am not surprised that Elon was turned off by it.

And the labyrinthine excuses Musk uses to fend off allegations of being thin-skinned are both ridiculous on their face, but also dangerous given his corrosive influence on young insecure men. But malignant narcissists never care what damage they may create, so long as the ultimate good (meaning themselves, in their minds) is being praised somewhere. We're unfortunate to live in a time where it is so easy for uber-rich narcissists to compete for influence on policy and society, when none of them really has their heart in anything but pleasuring themselves on a planet-sized scale. We allow far too much of our time and attention being wasted, and our fates being decided (through donations, corruption, vanity, etc) by a handful of selfish spoiled brats in adult oaf bodies. The vile and self-obsessed tyrants of old, lacking all virtue save for their magnificent fortunes, have been reborn in our time to pollute history and plague us all.

[@panhandlejake6200]

Honestly Elon is smart enough to know that claiming your platform is completely uncensored "free speech" is actually just part of a business model to attract the far right and their racism and conspiracy theories, same thing with Rumble. Elon doesn't care nearly as much about actual free speech as much as being *seen* as someone who cares about it. His image as this Tony Stark wannabe is more important to him than anything and it showed in this interview when Lemon (who I'm no fan of) dared to question Elon about his extremely questionable tweets and seeming indifference to how much of a right wing cesspool X has become

Re: Musk interview: It was an Honest Interview with direct questions. If the interviewee was uncomfortable with the issues discussed, which I believe Musk had been fully informed of prior, he should have rejected the interview. I watched that interview with impartiality, and I found the line of questioning provocative, interesting, and respectful. I also appreciated Musk's responses even tho I disagreed with some of his viewpoints. It is not always about whether we agree or disagree on issues, it is how we respectfully interact and respond to each other which shows that we can have open and fair communication.

[@steveelim]

The interview showed Don Lemon in a very bad light. It exposes Don as an extremely bad interviewer who seemed to have an agenda against Elon Musk. Musk initially tried to accommodate Lemon's adversarial tone but when Lemon piled it on, seeming to try to catch Musk in some gotcha, the interview turned sour and never recovered. Lemon did not have the skills to keep the interview from derailing. From what I saw, Lemon was the reason for the way the interview went and I am surprised he can't see it.

While technically true it’s a miss understanding of what happened. Hertz purchased those cars at the peak of a car market in general. Prior to the last year or two Teslas resale value has been outstanding. Hertz usually gets volume discounts too. But with Tesla they purchase new Tesla’s at a market price peak for new cars, at full retail price. It was a bad decision/deal. The cost of depreciation here is the market for all new cars falling substantially as interest rates have gone up over the last 1-2 years. It was bad planning/business, not a specific issue with the vehicles them selves.

The whole point is that his questions were not journalism, were activism. There is no holding EM accountable for whatever other people say on the platform. The 1A says that people are free to express themselves and the Section 230 of the DCA states that platforms like X are not responsible for anything that the users do. He has put in place tools that allow people to curate their feed by blocking whoever they want to block, for the body of users to self-moderate using Community Notes, and also there are mechanisms for people to report what is believed to be criminal behaviour. Finally, there is no such thing as "hate speech", only speech that you hate. So you the answer to your questions is pretty easy: if you believe someone committed a crime on X, block the user, report the content to X and to the authorities.

On the question of hate speech on the platform musk says it doesn’t matter if nobody sees them , it doesn’t matter if they’re on the platform if they don’t get many views. “ if nobody reads it it doesn’t matter” Musk says. Which is a brilliant way of avoiding the problem of moderation.

You mean Lemon?

[@mrkeogh]

Precisely. You'd think a billionaire with a history of drug use and erratic behaviour might try to use such a question to put minds at ease (like, say, his investors), but no. Elmo could give an honest answer (or at least convincing rebuttal) and praised Lemon for having the balls to ask the question even if he didn't particularly feel comfortable answering it. They shake hands, agree to disagree, and both come away with increased credibility. Elmo isn't that smart, though. He lacks the necessary self-awareness and self-control to be such an unfiltered public figure.

[@judjudersawn2596]

Don conducted a hateful and abusive interview. He didn’t call anything legitimate out. Youre living in a strange bubble.

[@wtmayhew]

Thumbs up for Don Lemon. Probably my top complaint for both “left” and “right” media is the constant pitching of softball questions to interviewees. The result is intellectual pablum.

[@avphotog]

I love Don Lemon and glad he's a fan of yours. Great to see you two talking this out.

[@zomaarwat33]

Interestingly the last part about 'lowering the standards' really shows how these two men did not understand each other. Musk has autism and simply stated some facts about 'lowering the standards' from which Lemon concluded something like 'You think women and black people are less competent as white men. Musk never said or MEANT to say that. But a neurotypical person would say it differently. I mainly blaim Lemon for not understanding that.

[@ToeStankin]

This is a very interesting point

[@Andrei.bondarenco]

Oh Lemon... you asked us to watch the interview and decide for ourselves. Well, instead of an interview, it looked more like a well crafted deposition with a line of questioning designed to take a-part the other party. You went through the whole dirty laundry list, I've been following Musk for the last 10 years and I have yet to see an interview that had as much determination to make him seem negative. And points to Musk for answering all your questions, not once, not twice, but some topics you pivoted the question 5-6 times in hopes to get an unflattering response from him or catch him slip up. Anyways, I agree with Musk and his decision to cancel the whole deal. Because you don't bite the hand that feeds you, You could have had a great show, on a popular and up and coming platform, and you could have done more good there, by sharing your perspective and balancing it off with the views of Conservatives like Tucker Carlson for example, instead you have now been let go out of 2 outlets, I believe all in a period of 1 year. No Cybertruck for you buddy! P.S. And like someone else commented here, you trying to backpeddle in the last 5 min with your "oh I'm not trying to upset or rub you the wrong way... " all that did was show Musk and all of us your true, negative intentions from the start.

I think we should coin a new Logic Fallacy (if one doesn't already exist by this definition, help me out here if you'd know one) that describes the mind pretzelling illogic of assuming that persons, who are successful - especially of non-entertainment world - only got there because of some flaw in their character, ipso facto. Authoritarians, or users, or by way of thievery or trickery. I see this sort of illogic constantly. It's probably spawned by a feeling of jealousy or personal inadequacy, but more likely the byproduct of a weak or inexperienced mind being influenced by some who derive some advantage by pitting our population against one another.

@@TB-ni4ur it's the message that it sends... Musk rails on and on about freedom of speech and cancel culture - then makes it clear that his skin is paper thin and that he will actively go out of his way to push, punitively, anyone who does anything to exercise that free speech in a way that he finds personally offensive of displeasing. His message is basically 'never use your freedom of speech in a way that challenges me or any of my views'. He doesn't have to pay Don Lemon - but he could stop being such a hypocrite - if he's opposed to cancel culture, then he should stop cancelling people. It's not the first time that he's made the headlines for banning people whose speech he personally doesn't like on X, but simultaneously has no problem with platforming anti-semites and neo-Nazis... He clearly went out of his way to cancel his deal with Don Lemon out of spite because he felt personally slighted. If Elon Musk thought that was a confrontational interview he should try watching Andrew Neil interview Ben Shapiro - or indeed any sitting UK political or current/former Prime Minister... Then read a bit about who Andrew Neil is - super right wing, major player formerly in the Murdoch empire, he just happens to be a professional who understand that it's his job to ask hard questions that force someone to really justify and defend their position. Hilarious how 'journalism' in the United States is sooooo soft when it comes to handling its guests.

Lemon even claimed that Elon said lives have been lost due to the worst surgeons when you can just skip back in the interview and hear Elon was right when he told Lemon that wasn't true and Lemon didnt back down an inch making Elon seem wrong and crazy.
