Here’s the Elon Musk interview that got Don Lemon’s show canceled


Elon Musk says if no one reads hateful posts “it doesn’t matter.”

Lemon asks Musk about his comments on illegal immigration and the far-right great replacement theory, then turns to the topic of content moderation. Musk says he uses ketamine, which is a dissociative anesthetic, once in a while when he gets into a “negative sort of chemical mindset.” He also says he met with Trump but denied rumors that the former president asked for a donation for his political campaign. Lemon, a former host on CNN, was supposed to debut new episodes of his show on X as part of a deal he struck with the platform earlier this year.
