Don Lemon alleges the interview is what led to the cancellation of his show deal with X|@donlemon|X

Don Lemon posted his controversial interview with billionaire Elon Musk on social media platforms, including X (previously Twitter), on Monday.

The roughly one-hour exchange touched upon the Tesla CEO’s alleged use of drugs like ketamine (which Musk insisted he took as prescribed for treatment), his mental health, political influence, and views on racial and diversity issues.

The former CNN news host also asked Musk about content moderation on X and his plans for the platform.

Lemon alleges the interview led Musk to cancel his show deal with X. He challenged the billionaire to watch the video and defend his decision.

Musk posted on X last week saying Lemon “lacked authenticity” and that his approach was “basically just CNN, but on social media.”
