If it was a PR stunt, it probably relied on that.

PR stunts are planned, if it is one Elon was probably chosen because it is obvious he would react this way. Elon doesn't have to be in on it for it to be a stunt.

Who did the PR stunt?

Elon? he offered multiple millions of dollar contract to Don Lemon to then pull it after one show to improve his PR image?

Don Lemon? he's unemployed and accepted a multiple million dollar contract, to do one show and planned on pissing off musk enough to get musk to pull his contract for some pr?

Who gets what benefit from this?

Lemon now appears to be on the "correct" side again in mainstream media

If it was a PR stunt, then my assumption would be lemon did it, and he has some sort of backup plan that isn't public.

Of course it could always not be a stunt.
