William Earl Don Lemon has released his hour-long interview with Elon Musk, after the journalist claimed that it upset the X (formerly Twitter) owner to cancel the launch of a new interview show the pair had been planning together. During one section of the interview, Lemon asked about Musk taking a puff of weed on The Joe Rogan Experience, and then inquired about the tech mogul’s ketamine prescription. “It’s pretty private to ask somebody about a medical prescription,” he said.
“There are times when I have a negative chemical state in my brain, like depression, I guess. Depression that’s not linked to any negative news, and ketamine is helpful for getting one out of a negative frame of mind. I’m not a doctor, but if someone has depression issues, I suggest they talk to their doctor about ketamine versus SSRIs.” Lemon then asked if Musk ever abused it, which Musk denied, saying he took a small amount every other week.
Things got especially contentious during the last stretch of the interview, when Lemon asked Musk about advertisers pulling advertisements from X as a result of not wanting their content to be near what they perceived to be unmoderated hate speech. Lemon questioned Musk about said companies, asking, “Why is that not a form of free speech? They are free to advertise where they want.” “Whereas the other platforms will censor on behalf of other advertisers, the X platform will not,” Musk said. After a back and forth, Lemon asked, “So you said, ‘If they kill the company, it’s them’ — but doesn’t the buck stop with you?” “Choose your questions carefully — there’s five minutes left,” Musk retorted.
