Elon Musk Rips Don Lemon As A ‘Stupid A**hole’ After Biased Interview
Elon Musk, the CEO of X (formerly known as Twitter), has branded the former CNN host Don Lemon as a āstupid a**holeā after cancelling his show on his social media platform.
Musk Rips Lemon As A āStupid A**holeā
āOn a chart that measured personality and intelligence, [Lemon] would be in the worst quadrant ā stupid a**hole,ā Musk wrote in response to the above clip from an interview that he did with Lemon.
In the video, Lemon showed his own ignorance as he failed to understand Muskās explanation for his view of how DEI is being implemented in medical schools.
āLetās say a surgeon-in-training is asked to do a series of operations under the supervision of a senior surgeon and they get a bunch of those operations wrong,ā Musk said. āIf that happens, and yet they are still approved to be a surgeon, the probability that someone will die, I think, at some point, is high.ā
āI understand that, but thatās a hypothetical and that doesnāt mean itās happening,ā Lemon replied.
āI didnāt say itās happening,ā Musk said, to which Lemon asked, āYou didnāt say it was happening?ā
āI said it will. If we lower standards, people will die,ā Musk said.
Lemon hit back by laughing before asking, āBut why respond to something, or put something out there, that has not happened?ā
Social media users were quick to point out how stupid this made Lemon look, as he couldnāt even understand a hypothetical proposition:

Musk Talks Hate Speech On X
During this same interview, Musk denied encouraging hate speech on X after Lemon showed him a series of posts that were seen as racist and anti-semitic.
āSo, Don, you love censorship, is what youāre saying,ā Musk said in response.
When Lemon replied by saying that he believes in moderation, Musk shut this down by saying that āmoderation is a propaganda word for censorship.ā
Musk went on to state that if a post is illegal, āweāre going to take it down,ā but if it did not break the law, āweāre putting our thumb on the scale or being censors.ā
Lemon Dropped By X
Musk was so put off by this interview that he responded to it by cancelling Lemonās show on his X social media platform.
āElon 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,ā Lemon wrote in a statement shared to X last week. āHe informed me of his decision hours after an interview I conducted with him on Friday.ā
When a social media user asked for clarification on this, Musk was happy to explain.
āHis approach was basically just āCNN, but on social media,ā which doesnāt work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is dying,ā Musk said, according to SCNR. āAnd, instead of it being the real Don Lemon, it was really just Jeff Zucker talking through Don, so lacked authenticity.ā
āAll this said, Lemon/Zucker are of course welcome to build their viewership on this platform along with everyone else,ā he added.
In trying to make Musk look foolish, Lemon has only once again shown the world just how ignorant he really is himself. With his deal with X gone to the wayside, we can only hope that Lemon fades away into obscurity, and that we are no longer subjected to his radically liberal and idiotic views.
