— KanekoaTheGreat (@KanekoaTheGreat) March 14, 2024
MUSK: "I was at a breakfast at a friend's place and Donald Trump came by. That's it."
LEMON: "Are you going to loan him money to help pay his legal bills?"

Commie LeMon insists Musk all in for Crook Joe.
Or to the Gulag!
Note how it Entitled leftist Soviet LeMon grills Musk in a way that feels... Nazi.
Don Lemon. Dumbest person on TV. Kamala stupid. Off course he's still on CNN, with a diminished role, because he is black and likes cock.
I think Musk was put off by his assholiness.
Lemon is (like so many liberal loons) stuck on Trump.
Does not make for good or great media content...
Dumb enough to do a handshake deal with Elon Musk is pretty dumb.
Don Lemon’s deal with Elon Musk collapses over interview

"His approach was basically just “CNN, but on social media”, which doesn’t work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is dying. And, instead of it being the real Don Lemon, it was really just Jeff Zucker talking through Don, so lacked authenticity. All this said, Lemon/Zucker are of course welcome to build their viewership on this platform along with everyone else."
- Elon Musk, Yesterday
Dumbest man on earth interviews smartest man on earth, with predictable results : )
What a world...
A reporter snags an interview with a self made richest man on the planet. A man that has his own rockets in space. A man that has placed 4,000 satellites in orbit to provide internet service. A man that is the leading manufacturer of Electric Vehicles. The man that owns X/twitter.
This is the man you sit down with, and the best you have is chasing gossip?
How big of retard is this guy.
With $5-6 billion in net worth and a additional $3bn payday next week, seems like American Express would trust our president emeritus for a few million if he is a bit illiquid this afternoon.

Just spent time on something I’ll never recover
Sounds like it was an interview but not in the direction it initially appeared to be. DL had an opportunity to impress his new boss who seemed to want an actual Goodland thoughtful reporter. Musk dismisses DL by saying he's still working for the failing old boss and failing old system.
I wonder what Musk was really looking for
What would be really high quality and creative questions to ask Musk if given the chance?
What Iowan said.
Some of our dimmer bulbs here think people attribute Musk's smartness to being rich.
Most of us realize that the dbs have it backwards. We know he is rich because he is smart.
He is not smart enough to make a pencil (see classic essay "I, pencil") and certainly not smart enough to build a rocket ship.
Or a car
Or a satellite network
Or a bank
Etc.
But he is smart see what is possible. "the vision thing" and bring together the capital, people, resources, market and more to create all these things.
First successful new us auto company since Chrysler in 1930.
Launched more than half of all Maas in orbit, ever. At a constantly decreasing cost.
Seems to have violated the laws of physics with his high speed low Latency starlink.
Improved tunnel boring technology.
And more.
If he'd only done one of these he'd deserveto be recognized as one of the smartest people ever.

Walter Chrysler originally a steam locomotive mechanic, was the last person to start a successful new car company in the US when he took over the wreckage of Jack Benny's beloved Maxwell during the depression
Until Musk and tesla.
He got very wealthy along the way too. Wealthy enough to personally build the Walter Chrysler (not Chrysler motors) building in NYC.
Genius generally pays well but only when accompanied by action.

Don Lemon is just Jeff Zucker's mouthpiece. He's black and seems like a nice guy if somoewhat dim. But he's just a meat puppet.
Don't be fooled. Musk wasn't.
I'm always amazed at how many people on the Right think these TV talking heads are writing their own questions and deciding who to Inteview.
When Zucker was President of CNN News he told his producers everyday what the "Party line" was. They were expected to follow the "narrative" put out by zucker. The producers then got with the "talent" and scheduled guests and wrote commentary/questions based on the daily Zucker "party line".
Its the Network execs who are responsible. But some onair talent can do their own thing, assuming they stand within the guide rails.
iowan2 writes, "How big of retard is this guy?"
Good question. Perhaps if Lemon** and Rich stood back to back...
** Don Lemon has toyed with the spelling in an attempt to force his fake gallicize pronunciation on the gullible, much as Stevie Colbert has Frenchified his into "coal-bear".
"He got very wealthy along the way too. Wealthy enough to personally build the Walter Chrysler (not Chrysler motors) building in NYC."
Thanks for that interesting tidbit, John Henry. I have often wondered why the CEO of PanAm occupied the penthouse suite in the Chrysler Building and not the CEO of Chrysler Motors.
It took Don Lemon exactly 24 hours to remind everyone what a talentless hack he is.
The vacuity of Lemon's questions. Wow.
What I always think of when I see Don Lemonhead.
There's no lemon like Don Lemon like no lemon I know
Everything about him's unappealing, everything reminds me of a cow
His intellect has easily hit its ceiling, yet he is still employed somehow
Musk laughed out loud when he said he is moving away from Biden… It delights him to say that!
"What would be really high quality and creative questions to ask Musk if given the chance?"
That wasn't already extensively covered in Walter Isaacsons recent hefty bio on Musk.
Asking him already detailed questions isn't great reporting either.
I still cant get past the idiocy of the questions.
I hired on to a new company, and sometime in the first 6 months I was in a meeting with some of the VP's and the CEO stopped in to listen a bit. After one segment, a person asked what my take on the subjects was. I never hesitated, because I was listening and constantly trying to find something I might have some insight into. While long time in the field of business, not hired on long enough to grasp the decision making structure the company. I said I didn't know enough yet to ask an intelligent question, so my opinion would not be helpful. Because yes, when you are trying to impress your superiors, there are indeed stupid questions.
If I had the chance to interview Musk, I would probably want to delve into what he wanted out of college graduates, coming into his various enterprises, and how he evaluates performance. But I would need to talk to people smarter than I to hone my questions.
I sure as hell avoid ALL things political, and if Musk went there, I would work hard to get away from the subject.
I swear, media hacks have the intellectual depth of a snail track on concrete.
Dumb enough to do a handshake deal with Elon Musk is pretty dumb.
Dumb enough to believe anything out of Don Lemon's mouth is even dumber.
The 'deal' had nothing to do with the article you linked. Lemon wanted a guaranteed rate without providing a guaranteed audience.
Mark,
I've been meaning to read the Musk bio. I really enjoyed isaacsons bio of jobs.
Thanks for reminding me. Going off to download the sample now.
I just noticed he wrote a bio of Ben Franklin. I'm a fan so downloaded that sample too.
It'll be a few weeks before I get to either. Just started rereading Wareham's "poor man at the gate" series. I'm a huge Wareham fan. I've read most of his series at least once, some more than once. I can't get enough.

"What would be really high quality and creative questions to ask Musk if given the chance?"

That is back asswards perspective. Why eliminate all the content of the book? Use the Book.
Read the book. Look for those things that can be applied to the world today and have Musk use the present, to give context to his ideas. That is Musk's Super Power. Applying a system or process in a way its not been used before. If memory serves, his personal launching pad was Pharmaceuticals. He believed big pharma, systems and protocols, left $billions in sales on table. He risked everything prove he had a better way.
Few people today know who. Walter Chrysler was but he was kind of the Elon Musk of his day. One of the 5 or so richest men in the US.
Built stunningly successful Chrysler Motors out of the wreckage of the Maxwell, Campbell, dodge and other car companies.
Of the thousand or so auto companies founded in the US since 1900, only 4 (Ford, gm, Chrysler and tesla) have not gone toes up. Though one could argue that gm and Chrysler are approaching room temperature despite govt t efforts.
Starting a car company is really, really, really hard. Pretty much impossible, really. Starting a car company using a basically non-existent technology seems like it would take a level of insanity to even contemplate.
Yet Musk is one of 4 people in 125 years to succeed at it.
I suspect he started SpaceX and Starlink as a hobby to relax after a hard day at tesla. They seem a lot easier.
Not easy, by any means. But easier than tesla.
But of course Elon is not very smart. Actually pretty stupid, really. Just lucky as he stumbles along. /sarc
The success of each of the 4 companies is closely associated with a single forceful personality . Henry Ford, Walter Chrysler, Billy Durant (gm) Elon Musk.
Lots of help from a team of talented as well as merely competent people. Of course. Absofuckinglutely. It goes without saying. Etc and so on.
But none of these companies became successful because of committees and consensus
