Embarrassing for Musk to be so fragile, and embarrassing for Lemon to have been naive enough to think having a show on X would end any other way.

Is it actually embarrassing for Lemon? He took Musk at his word, and Musk proved to the world once again that his commitment to free speech is one-sided. Who else would have had the opportunity to expose Musk's hypocrisy in this manner?

If Lemon's so-called naivety was so embarrassing, why would he publish the interview in a different venue? Sounds to me like Lemon doesn't have anything to hide here, and all the egg is on Musk's face. If anything, engaging with Twitter looks like a smart move on Lemon's part because the attempted cancellation raised public interest in the interview. The opposite of naive.

It's a huge win for Lemon, he gets to start his show off with this interview.
Win? Embarrassing himself and not being professional and not being able to keep his cool is not a win, its embarrassment which he has always been.

He lost a big deal because he wanted to be hostile and argumentative and against the truth (when Elon told him people will show whos right/wrong, he said that doesn't mean anything even if there is a study attached)

"Against the truth" lol
You're just saying this nonsense because you hate Musk because he's not a democrat anymore. That's where all the hate you have stems from.

With that said, he was given the same opportunity to other democratic leaders and they are on the platform with no issues.

Don was being a complete jerk and wasn't being genuine. Don has always been disingenuous and full of it. Plus everyone thats worked with him at CNN hated him

I mean, while it was inevitable it would implode, I must say I’m _slightly_ surprised that it has imploded before it event _started_.
