Yes, trying to publicly bugger your boss might tend to be accompanied by difficulties.

Lemon: "...but you don't allow child pornography."
Elon Musk: "Child pornography is illegal."
Lemon:"Some people would say that is censorship."
Really, Don? What people would say that? Are you asking for a friend?

Same with Musk, you can see that he was getting quietly exasperated with Lemon, who was putting on his old CNN bullshit act.

This really needed to be said and should be said often.
Time to get the fuck over it. You're nothing special just because you have ancestors who were enslaved. It's part of human history we ALL share. Stop the Goddamned pissing and moaning and stop walking around with a chip on your shoulder and with your hand out for money you don't have coming to you. Everyone is fed up with this stupid shit. Stop thinking that you have a built-in excuse to show your ass just because black slavers sold your great-great-great-great-great-great grandaddy to white slavers.
Lemon is lying when he says that he was "fired" from X by Musk. He was never hired or employed, there was no deal made. He is not banned from Musk's platform. Musk essentially said fuck you to Lemon in regards to his ridiculous demands.
CNN fired him, not Musk.

To be fair, Musk has Asperger's...high functioning Asperger's. Perhaps he's the perfect foil for Lemon who himself is wrapped up in a self-righteous, sanctimonious bubble whose entire persona is one of gestures, insinuations and aspersions. People with Asperger's aren't going to pick-up on slights and suggestions thus, Lemon is left having to explain himself and his intentions, so fun to watch him squirm.
I've not seen the entire interview but, just once I'd like to see a guest reply back about 'which study are you referring to?' when DEI talking-points comes up and the interviewer flippantly says, 'You're wrong because the studies prove....' Musk would be the perfect personality to recall any number of studies and reviews disproving an interviewers quotes.
