Don Lemon Says Elon Musk Should’ve ‘Sat Down With Megyn Kelly or Tucker Carlson’ if He Wanted To Be Lavished ‘With Praise for an Hour’

EXCERPT:

LEMON: “Our dialogue was tough, but it was fair, occasionally tense, but never disrespectful. We both brought facts to the table to back up our arguments, and I didn’t press Elon on anything that he hadn't previously spoken about in public. The interview was precisely what Elon has long claimed that he wants to make a home for on X: a free exchange of ideas. We dug into serious issues, the nuances of the Electoral College, the future of automotives, the complexities of DEI, even our own personal battles with depression. Did he really expect for me to simply lavish him with praise for an hour? If so, he could have sat down with Megyn Kelly or Tucker Carlson. But no, he opted to sit down with me, an independent journalist, to have a real conversation. I’m glad he did it. And if he chooses to watch the whole interview, he'll come to appreciate just how valuable our discussion was. In fact, I hope every conversation that we have on this show is an open forum just like that. You can’t have a public town square where its owner controls the microphone and the volume."
