It was raw and occasionally tense.
The former television anchor Don Lemon’s wide-ranging, testy interview with Elon Musk was released online on Monday morning, touching upon topics including politics, particularly the billionaire’s recent meeting with former President Donald J. Trump; Mr. Musk’s reported drug use; hate speech on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, which he now owns; and more.
The interview was intended to be the debut episode of a new talk show in a partnership between Mr. Lemon and X, but Mr. Musk called off the deal a day after filming the hour-plus interview at Tesla’s headquarters in Austin, Texas. The first episode of “The Don Lemon Show” was streamed on YouTube and posted to Mr. Lemon’s account on X.
In the interview, Mr. Musk said that earlier this month he was having breakfast at an unnamed friend’s home in Florida when Mr. Trump came by.
When asked what was discussed, Mr. Musk said that Mr. Trump did most of the talking and that the former president did not ask for money or a donation toward his campaign. Mr. Musk also said he would not lend Mr. Trump money to pay his legal bills.
While Mr. Musk said he would not donate to any candidate, he said he would consider endorsing one in the final stretches of the race.
“I don’t know yet, I want to make a considered decision before the election,” he said and noted that he was leaning away from President Biden. “I’ve made no secret of that,” he added.
If Mr. Musk endorses a candidate, he said, he will make a detailed explanation for his choice.
Elsewhere in the interview, Mr. Musk was adamant that he does not abuse drugs, and spoke about his prescription for ketamine for a “negative chemical state.”
“If you’ve used too much ketamine, you can’t really get work done, and I have a lot of work,” he said. He noted that 16-hour workdays were “normal” for him, and that he rarely took weekends off.
Mr. Musk appeared visibly annoyed by a direct line of questioning about his appearing to endorse an antisemitic conspiracy theory on X.
