'Elon Musk is mad at me': Former CNN anchor Don Lemon says the tech billionaire canceled his planned show on X in the wake of a 'tense' interview.
, Lemon revealed that he was informed of the decision just hours after filming a “tense” interview with Musk for the show.Although X will no longer debut the series, Lemon said that episodes — including his conversation with Musk — will still be available on YouTube and various platforms on March 18, the day it was slated to launch: “While Elon goes back on his word, I will be doubling down on my commitment to free speech.
“Elon Musk is mad at me,” he told followers. “There’s a whole lot that went down and I’m gonna tell you about it in the coming days.”, went on to explain that he originally struck the deal because of his belief in freedom of speech. “Speaking of free speech, I thought the first person to interview, no brainer, Elon Musk — the man who calls himself a ‘free speech absolutist,'" he said.
Musk has called himself an advocate of free speech and often points to his buying Twitter and reinstating accounts that were permanently suspended under prior management — including that of former President. That said, Musk has been heavily criticized for suppressing free speech since taking over the website, and has presided over X while several critics of the company have been banned and suspended from the platform.
