During a bizarre interview with the network that unceremoniously fired him in 2023, broadcaster Don Lemon spoke in detail about his recent interview with Elon Musk, revealing the pair spoke about drug use, supporting Trump and white supremacy.

Shortly before his interview, Lemon, 58, revealed that Musk, 52, canceled the one-time CNN anchor's upcoming self-titled show on X after just one unaired episode was recorded. 

When asked why this occurred, Lemon told former colleague Erin Burnett: 'That's a good question for Elon Musk, quite franklin. What happened? I don't know. As I said in my statement, I felt really good about the interview.'

In the clips that have surfaced from the piece, which Lemon described as 'tense at moments,' the pair covered a wide-range of topics, including Musk's use of drugs, his lack of support for Joe Biden and issues over moderation at X.  

CNN aired footage showing Lemon asking Musk about his recreational use of horse tranquilizer ketamine. The Tesla founder's use of the drug has been widely reported on and he himself has admitted to taking it. 

'The reason I mentioned ketamine with prescription on the X platform is because I thought: "Maybe this is something that could help other people." That's why I mentioned it. Obviously I'm not a doctor but I would say that if someone has depression issues, they should consider talking to their doctor about ketamine.'
