Don Lemon Interviews Elon Musk to Discuss Racism, Hate Speech, and More

Don Lemon and Elon Musk engaged in a tense and awkward exchange on the new "The Don Lemon Show." Their discussion ranged from hate speech to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, even touching on the controversial great replacement theory.

Before the interview proper began, Lemon emphasized that X, formerly known as Twitter, had not canceled his show. He then challenged Musk to watch the entire interview and explain why it wouldn't be considered the type of free speech he advocates for.
