BREAKING NEWS: World pops popcorn as Don Lemon grabs yet another potentially career-salvaging lifeboat and sets it on fire.
Yes, Don Lemon — whose arrogance and willful ignorance were so insufferable, even CNN fired him — was back for a brief, glorious moment with a show of his own making on X, where he was gifted an interview with Elon Musk.
And, with the self-immolating flair we’ve come to expect from Lemon, he tripped over his ego and torched any hope that he might actually redeem himself as a serious journalist.
“Elon made Don Lemon put together a show, build a studio, and have him on as the first guest, all so he could tell Lemon to his face how dumb he is,” noted the popular MAZE account on X. “And then Elon cancelled the show on him.”

That pretty much sums it up.
Rather than hold an honest conversation about… well, anything, really, Lemon attempted to corner Musk on his own platform with tired CNN talking points and quickly learned that mainstream media rules do not apply in the uncensored land of X.
Putting on his most condescending cape, Lemon asked Musk, “Do you believe that X and you have some responsibility to moderate hate speech on the platform? That you wouldn’t have to answer these questions from reporters about the Great Replacement theory as it relates to –”
“I don’t have to answer these questions,” Musk calmly interjected.
But Lemon plodded on.
“– the Great Replacement theory as it relates to Jewish people?” he continued. “Do you think that –”
“I don’t have to answer questions from reporters,” Musk repeated.
“Don,” the billionaire entrepreneur reminded Lemon, “the only reason I’m doing this interview is because you’re on the X platform and you asked for it. Otherwise, I would not do this interview.”
Like a junior high hall monitor who just never learns to keep his mouth shut, Lemon persisted.
“So, do you think you wouldn’t get in trouble or you wouldn’t be criticized for these things?” he asked.
With deadpanned authority, Musk replied, “I’m criticized constantly. I could care less.”
Alone, that spanking was delicious.
But when Lemon tucked his tail and ran crying to the people who tossed him to the curb, it was like virtual manna from Heaven.
Don Lemon gets terminated from CNN, secures a show on X, requests an interview with Elon Musk, and successfully lands it. Then he goes back to CNN and trash talks about Musk.

As anyone with a set of eyes and a pair of working ears knows, when 7.2 million migrants are allowed to illegally enter the nation and disappear within its interiors — when the number exceeds the number of American births — the citizens are being replaced with foreign nationals.
Of particular concern to Musk is the counting of those illegal migrants on the U.S. census.
“Most Americans are still unaware that the census counts ALL people, including illegal immigrants, for deciding how many House seats each state gets!” he recently wrote on X. “This results in Dem states getting roughly 20 more House seats, which is another strong incentive for them not to deport illegals.”

“Increasing illegals boosts Dem voting power, causing them to recruit even more!” Musk warned in another post. “If Democrats win President, House & Senate (with enough seats to overcome filibuster), they’ll grant citizenship to all illegals & America will become a permanent one-party deep socialist state.”
Exactly. Increasing illegals boosts Dem voting power, causing them to recruit even more!

On CNN, Lemon attempted to spin Musk’s snub as a sign of his antisemitism.
“He didn’t quite seem to understand that originally he did that with Jewish people,” Lemon said. “Sort of a ‘Great Replacement’ theory thing that he did with Jewish people and he got in trouble and he had to go to Auschwitz and answer questions and apologize and go with Ben Shapiro.”
According to Lemon, Musk shouldn’t make those observations about the “migrant invasion” because “that’s what radicalized shooters use in their manifestos.”
In another clip from his catastrophic interview with Musk, Lemon asked Musk about his reported meeting with Trump in Florida.
Don Lemon Questions Elon Musk About Meeting Trump: ‘Did He Ask You for Money?’
MUSK: “I was at a breakfast at a friend’s place and Donald Trump came by. That’s it.”
LEMON: “Are you going to loan him money to help pay his legal bills?”

“Did he ask you for money?” Lemon wanted to know.
Musk dismissed the rumors.
Did he ask you for money?
“He didn’t,” Musk replied.
“Are you going to loan him money to help pay his legal bills?” Lemon asked.
“I’m not,” Musk stated. “I’m not paying, paying his legal bills in any way, shape, or form.”
“Did he ask you for a donation?” Lemon pressed.
“No,” his guest replied.
Asked if Musk was “leaning toward” any presidential candidate, Musk told the flailing host that he’s “leaning away from Biden.”
Twenty-four hours later, Lemon’s show was canceled by the Chief Twit.
“Elon Musk has canceled the partnership I had with X, which they announced as part of their public commitment to amplifying more diverse voices on their platform,” he lamented to his Instagram followers. “He informed me of his decision hours after an interview I conducted with him on Friday. That interview will remain the premiere episode of The Don Lemon Show on Monday, March 18.”

“Elon publicly encouraged me to join X with a new show, saying I would have his ‘full support,’ and that his ‘digital town square is for all,’” he sniveled. “He and his team pursued the deal in numerous conversations and made significant commitments about the support X would provide for the show. I made the decision to work with them in a unique partnership that I believed would ultimately assure that my work would be available to the most people, in the largest possible venue. I took Elon and his management team’s word that they, for the first time, were interested in working directly with new and diverse voices.
“There were no restrictions on the interview that he willingly agreed to, and my questions were respectful and wide ranging, covering everything from SpaceX to the presidential election,” he continued.
Incredibly, Lemon then played what is presumably the Black Homosexual card, claiming Musk has a problem with “people like me.”
“We had a good conversation,” the tone-deaf Lemon wrote in his statement. “Clearly he felt differently. His commitment to a global town square where all questions can be asked and all ideas can be shared seems not to include questions of him from people like me.”
“This will be just the first of many episodes of The Don Lemon Show,” he vowed. “While Elon goes back on his word, I will be doubling down on my commitment to free speech and I cannot wait to get started.”
Back on X, Lemon is being laughed at.
Not with, but at — and it’s roaring across the platform:
Don’s smarmy insufferableness seems to have survived the humiliation of his CNN firing intact

Thank you Don Lemon for reminding Elon Musk that you are a total piece of shit. You revealed exactly who and what you are. You have no magnanimity whatsoever. pic.twitter.com/jD86dpGI9D

Don Lemon gets fired from CNN, gets an opportunity for a show on X, asks Elon Musk for an interview and gets it.
What does he do? Goes back to CNN and talks trash about Elon. This guy is a complete joke. Good luck getting opportunities elsewhere
