‘That’s a good question for Elon Musk quite frankly, what happened? I don’t know,’ Lemon said Tuesday evening.
‘As I said in my statement, I felt really good about the interview.
‘I said to him as we were doing the interview – and it was tense at moments – “You’ve been involved in tents, interviews.”
‘I said to him, “I think it’s good that people see folks like you and I who have different worldviews come together and talk. As he says, have free speech.
‘Free speech is only important when someone you don’t like, or I would say someone who doesn’t have your same point of view are someone if they’re allowed to speak freely and to say their point of view.
‘Apparently that doesn’t matter to Elon Musk is just for a talking points for him or rhetoric because it doesn’t seem to matter when it’s about him. Questions about him from people like me.’
