Megyn Kelly took aim at Don Lemon on a recent episode of her podcast for going after Elon Musk, despite the fact that Musk was basically reviving his career.
We recently learned that Lemon had a lot of demands for Musk before he was fired.
Kelly was also joined by members of the 'Ruthless' podcast.
Partial transcript via Real Clear Politics:
Megyn Kelly: Don Lemon was already fired again. In fact he has been fired before he was even hired. It's very hard for him to keep a job, and we know why…surprisingly Elon Musk offered him a deal to post a new show on X. And Elon Musk is a risk taker so I guess he thought it would be a fun risk. I guess it's as risky as sending a spacecraft into outer space because it really was that risky, Elon. He probably just thought oh, he's like a leftist commentator. I doubt Elon spent his time watching CNN Primetime because literally only two people did. And so he decided to offer her a deal…
I'll give it to Bill O'Reilly. I saw a clip of him this morning saying, don't interview your boss. That's the lesson that came out of this heated spat between Don and Elon… Don Lemon behaved like a fool who was not grateful to Elon Musk for reviving his career. And O'Reilly's, okay. It is very difficult for Don Lemon to be both a good journalist and a good employee. The guy is paying your salary, so you owe him a level of respect and discretion.
And at the same time you want to show us how tough you are in your first interview and those two goals are not aligned. So I don't blame Elon for being angry at the way he was treated… However, Don Lemon, through a spokesperson, who is the same woman with whom Jeff Zucker was having an affair, Alison Gollust, Threatening to sue. All our old favorites are included, guys!
