    In that interview, Don Lemon did not seem to comprehend Elon's answers to his questions. He kept asking the same question, Elon gave the same answer, but Lemon asked the same question over and over. 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.

      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.

      @userxuserx “ I don’t have to answer questions from reporters” says Musk in response to a question about content moderation on the X platform. 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.

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.

Musk never said or MEANT to say that. But a neurotypical person would say it differently. I mainly blaim Lemon for not understanding that.

      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.

    I had heard of Don Lemon but hadn't explored his work until his departure from CNN caught my attention. Although initially disinterested in his interview with Elon Musk, I decided to give it a chance, as I follow David Pakman. Lemon impressed me as a highly intelligent individual with a left-of-center perspective, which is refreshing in a predominantly right-leaning media landscape. His straightforward approach to journalism is much needed, but in such a competitive field, subtlety in audience-building while maintaining integrity will be crucial. Best of luck to him!

      @@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.
