Free Speech Absolutist everybody
When Lemon said he was going to have a show on "X", amidst the Elton antics and their hosting people like Tucker Carlson, I was skeptical and wondered why he did it. It seems this issue was precipitated by Elron throwing a fit after Lemon interviewed him. From another article, Elron said, in a very realistic and obviously normal statement:
Right, I'm sure that after CNN fired Lemon and he left to have his own show, "Jeff Zucker is talking through Don".
I’d care about this more if Lemon wasn’t such an asshole. https://archive.ph/qTCIz
Still, this made me laugh: At the time, X championed the move as part of its mission to become “a free speech platform for all voices.”
I guess Musk thought that since Lemon is a self-centered prick, too, they’d get along?
No free speech 4 u!
Simping to billionares is not a stable source of income. Don is learning that now.
I'm sure Alex Jones will be happy to take the slot.
"Listen here, brother. I'm gonna take this show, and SHIT ALL OVER IT. And you're gonna love it."
Maybe more like a WWE wrestler than Jones, but from the clips I've seen of him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why would you have a show on x and expect otherwise. It's like when John Stewart was saying Apple was trying to silence him on China, well yeah it's Apple, did you not see that coming when you signed on with Apple?
Probably would have garnished his wages anyway
Is there any chance we'd ever see the videos?
Being released on monday apparently!
