I am not sure what the fuss is about, honestly. Elon didn't storm off the set, he answered all the questions asked, Don seemed to pick up on some negative vibes but of course he would since they're having an intense discussion where there were several points at which they had to simply disagree and move to the next subject. Don irritated the guy who invited him into a partnership and then that partnership was rescinded. Don himself prefaces the clip by saying his show wasn't cancelled by X. Seems pretty in line with what Elon said in the interview about how everyone's free to post, but that doesn't mean X will promote it. X decided not to promote Don Lemon's show.

It's just another case of "spaceman bad". Even his recent comment about Microsoft requiring a user account for installing Windows seemingly made some people make a 180 just to disagree with him.

      I think we've found Naughty Old Mr Car's HN account. Also: > Don also raised his voice Oh, no! How could he?! I’ve long thought that it would be useful, or at least extremely funny, for Jeremy Paxman to spend a bit of time in the US; it would be fascinating to see how the likes of Trump and Musk would cope with an actual adversarial interview. They’d probably _melt_; US interviewers are extremely deferential to the rich and powerful by contrast.

        > I think we've found Naughty Old Mr Car's HN account. Don't have a valid reply so you have to say something stupid? Apparently you don't know what professionalism is and an interviewer should never raise his/her voice.

        An interviewer can absolutely raise their voice with an uncooperative subject, at least around here. (The US does tend to habitually treat rich and important people with kid gloves in interviews, and this is unfortunate.)
