It’s OVER For Don Lemon After INSANE Charlie Kirk Video – Elon Musk Gives FINAL BLOW!

In what many are calling the final nail in the coffin for former CNN anchor Don Lemon, a newly surfaced and explosive video featuring conservative commentator Charlie Kirk has reignited controversy surrounding Lemon’s journalistic credibility — and this time, Elon Musk himself has stepped in with a brutal takedown.

The chaos began when Charlie Kirk posted a viral clip from an unreleased interview with Don Lemon. The footage — now trending across social media — shows Lemon repeatedly clashing with Kirk over issues of race, free speech, and political bias in mainstream media. What was supposed to be a balanced and respectful exchange quickly devolved into what viewers are calling a “meltdown” by Lemon.

In the now-infamous clip, Lemon appears visibly agitated, interrupting Kirk multiple times, raising his voice, and accusing him of “platforming dangerous ideologies.” Kirk, unfazed, calmly pushes back, questioning Lemon’s journalistic integrity and bringing up Lemon’s past controversies. The tension builds until Lemon reportedly walked off set, ending the interview early.

What made things worse? Elon Musk, who owns X (formerly Twitter), retweeted the video, commenting:

“This is exactly why legacy media is collapsing. Arrogant, biased, and out of touch.”

The tweet racked up millions of views in hours, with many calling Musk’s comment the “final blow” to Lemon’s already shaky media standing. Some users even tagged Lemon, asking if he would respond — but so far, he’s stayed silent.

A Pattern of Controversy

Don Lemon was already on thin ice in the media world. After a high-profile firing from CNN in early 2023, following a string of awkward on-air comments and internal disputes, he attempted to rebrand himself as a more independent voice. However, critics argue he never fully took responsibility for past missteps and has struggled to connect with audiences outside of traditional liberal media spaces.

The interview with Kirk was part of Lemon’s attempt to prove he could host more diverse and challenging conversations. Instead, it seems to have backfired spectacularly.

Public Reaction

Online reaction to the clip has been overwhelmingly critical of Lemon. Comments range from calling him “unprofessional” to accusing him of being “unable to handle dissenting opinions.” Even some of his former supporters are expressing disappointment.

“Don Lemon had a chance to show growth,” one user wrote. “Instead, he just proved his critics right.”

Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk is capitalizing on the moment, promoting the clip across all platforms and teasing a full release of the interview. “This is just the beginning,” he tweeted. “The truth will always come out.”

What’s Next for Lemon?

With Elon Musk publicly weighing in and the video continuing to trend, media insiders say it will be “very difficult” for Don Lemon to recover from this PR disaster. His future in serious journalism — or even as an independent content creator — now hangs in the balance.

One thing is clear: the media landscape is shifting, and for Don Lemon, this could truly be the end of the road.
