Asking someone about their prescriptions and then calling it "Drug Use" in a title is poor journalism. More reasons people hate media.

[lexbraxman]

Everything Don asks is provoking negativity. What a disgrace.

[bmil]

Lemon tried so hard to have "gotcha" moment that he asked about his perscription medication...how dispicable

[larrys]

That's not how you treat your boss on the first day of work.

Don is such a joke. He looks so proud of his own questions, but they’re pretty dumb.

[chilloutnyc]

Can you imagine any other CEO talking this openly? Gotta respect Elon.

[bgxxmtp]

Ask some real questions. A chance to get inside a brilliant mind and you’d rather annoy him

[LiveGoodSMW]

I'm not a big fan of Musk, porbably lesser fan of CNN and I have no idea who Lemon is, but he was given a big opportunity and, frankly, mostly blew it.

[beenjammin]

People moving humanity forward and people standing in the way. As usual.

[Silverfoxy]

Cant believe he gave this reporter the time of day.

[uxirofkgor]

Even his name lemon as a surname is dumb

[Happymaninyellow]

X dropped this 'lemon', a right choice

[vcqiqvm]

It’s not drug use. He offered some suggestion to help people. Not to have his illness thrown in his face.

[candidjogger]

“Pretty private to ask someone about a medical prescription, you know” . To have to be schooled on this shows how disrespectful a reporter can be. No wonder Elon didn’t like the interview

[rampmonkeyyyj]

There's a difference between asking thoughtful questions and respectfully challenging someone in an interview, and what I perceive Don Lemon to having done in this interview, which is just sort of annoyingly probing in a way that's not particularly interesting or insightful. I've seen about 25% of the interview and honestly it's all I could watch. It just comes across as pestering and irritating, not a good journalist asking good questions.

[Jess-TheMess]

I'm not even a big Musk fan but this was just annoyingly pressing the same issue, a prescription isn't something anyone should feel obligated to explain

[billb.]

No wonder he fired him. What an idiot. Why did he keep dwelling on ketamine? Almost like he was trying to stir up controversy. It is a prescribed medication used to treat depression. It literally is none of Lemon's business and Elon was actually nice enough to answer the questions. But he could see what Lemon was going to use his show for and decided he wasn't going to fund it.

[Flickit]

The problem is Don was trying to get under his skin rather than trying to throw light on interesting subjects. The way to open someone up is to relax them and show respect. Don needs retraining. His experience at CNN didn't help him.

Elon : ...I have to say ...choose your question carefully, there's 5 minutes left

[StilettoMel]

Instead of professional and impartial journalism you instead get this cringe worthy effort from Don, obviously trying to make a name for himself. Why is this guy even on the air anymore
