Go back and read it again.
Nobody’s stopping Le-mon from having an X account and saying whatever he wants.

The truth or the truth you want to hear? Let's not redefine what truth is. He speaks his mind, but to call it truth is disingenuous at best.

Lemon can still post his show on X. Elon is just not going to pay him for exclusive rights the the show.

What are we talking about here? I don't pretend Elon is always truthful (or that he always knows what the truth is)
But I think on the hot button items, race, gender, discrimination generally, policing, immigration, etc. Elon is far more likely to tell the truth or spread true statements/articles/videos about those things than his elite counterparts.

I wonder what the catalyst was?
My guess it was the questions being asked, and then Lemon's comments being propaganda leaning.
I believe Musk would do that to a comparable right leaning person as well.

Hey dummy, every single REEEEEEtawd on the left has the exact same opportunity to post all of your bullshite on his platform. The PROPOGANDA is posted on this platform by both sides. You're just whining that Musk fired the fake turd once realizing he was just parroting talking points from his previous overlord. You don't even know what a propaganda machine is

Musk cracks down on left wing terrorism at Twitter, Lefists call it a right wing echo chamber.
The real issue is Democrats are too fricking soft to hear opinions they do not like.
You folks cant be honest and free. Youre simply actors spouting talking points and you want that protected, as well as your sensibilities.

Right.
Musk didnt want to be in business with Lemon if Lemon was just going to bring his failed CNN bullshite over to twitter. He even said just that.

You sound pissed that it’s no longer a LEFT-wing propaganda machine.

When Musk took over twitter, the nation seemed far more rational for a while.
Twitter was the propaganda arm of progressive 4th wave feminism. These dipshits are pissed that its been disrupted.

They haven’t been banned. They just aren’t partners anymore. Also, the free speech issue only became an issue when Twitter was censoring at the request or demand of the government.

see through his bs, but many just eat ti up because it sounds like the echo chambers they find comfort and solace in.
It’s amazing the arrogance you have when opining from a place of complete ignorance.

If LeMon doesn’t like it, he can build his own platform.

Either that or stop being a programmed bot so hes actually believable.

You're only looking for echos that leak out of the chamber. Your confirmation bias is what gives you comfort and is the refreshment you look for.
Due to the misleading OP title, are you under the misimpression Don Lemon or his content are banned from X?

Don Lemon
I realized Don Lemon was a fraud when he posted his "heirloom recipe" for Crawfish etouffee:
Don Lemon’s Louisiana crawfish étouffée
Lemon and his mother walked us through this heirloom recipe that’s made its way through generations of his family, passed along by mothers to their children.
Ingredients
1 pound (at least) crawfish tails
Fat and juice from the crawfish
5 tablespoons margarine or unsalted butter
1 pack Cajun étouffée mix
Cream of celery soup (1-2 tablespoons per pound of crawfish)
Cream of shrimp (1-2 tablespoons per pound of crawfish)
Tomato soup (1-2 tablespoons per pound of crawfish)
Cream of mushroom soup (1-2 tablespoons per pound of crawfish)
Splash of seafood stock
Sprinkle of creole seasoning, preferably Tony Chachere’s
1 finely chopped green onion, green tops only
Long grain rice

In case you didn't read, Don Lemon is still free to publish whatever he wants on X. Elon just isn't going to pay him.
So how is this freedom of speech related?

Exactly, he is just saying he won't have an agreement with X to monetize it, but needs to build up his show like anyone else. That isn't stopping freedom of speech.
I bet the indetail guy said nothing when the old owners of Twitter were blocking media, people, and groups that were conservative.
In fact I bet he said hey, they own the site and can choose who they do business with.

I've heard some of Lemons statements prior to becoming a puppet, and he's a bright guy.
But hes playing a part right now, and I dont blame Musk for making him do it on his own.
