Lemon asks Musk about his comments on illegal immigration and the far-right “great replacement theory” and then turns to the topic of content moderation.Lemon asks whether better content moderation on X would let Musk avoid some of the criticism of his posts about the great replacement theory.
The interview also goes over Musk’s disagreement with companies’ diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies as well as his views on racism.
Things get more heated at the very end of the interview, when Lemon mentions Musk’s statement that advertisers could “kill” X with an ad boycott.
Musk says he uses ketamine, which is a dissociative anesthetic, once in a while when he gets into a “negative sort of chemical mindset.” He also says he met with Trump but denied rumors that the former president asked for a donation for his political campaign.
Lemon, a former host on CNN, was supposed to debut new episodes of his show on X as part of a deal he struck with the platform earlier this year.
