Your comment leaves me scratching my head as it is all over the place.

We all need to just stop paying attention to Musk, he’s nothing more that a gussied up Musk supremcist dork with skin so thin he’s more translucent than he is white.

He’s made a career out of taking big risks with other people’s money and being saved by absurd fed policies while also milking the government for every last nickel he can squeeze out of it

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.
