To me, the weirdest part here is that twitter is trying to pivot into talk shows!?

The biting the hand that feeds and it blowing up part feels so predictable its a non story.

It seems like, "is trying to, but doesn't really understand what that entails".

feels so predictable its a non story.

If nothing else, it serves as a warning to others that Elon reaches out to, offering a sweetheart deal.

This feels like a PR stunt.

It generates controversy so more people will listen to the interview on the X platform, and Lemon gets credit for appearing like a serious, uncompromising journalist that asks tough questions.

so torpedoing his only active deal makes sense to add PR towards him doing what?

going around and saying that its "their fault" when he fails/go bankrupt

Yeah, no way a free speech absolutist would turn out to be a huge insecure baby

If it was a PR stunt, it probably relied on that.

PR stunts are planned, if it is one Elon was probably chosen because it is obvious he would react this way. Elon doesn't have to be in on it for it to be a stunt.

The interview will apparently be on YouTube, not Twitter.
