Lemon and Musk discuss X, racism, slavery, wokeism, media, politics, and more.
From The Daily Caller:
When Lemon evoked slavery, Musk said that Americans should “look to the future rather than the past.” The tech mogul said, “We are all descended from slaves,” stating that everyone should be treated “according to just who they are as an individual.”
“What future do we want? Is this something we want to make, fight about, constant dialogue forever?” Musk asked. “Or do we wanna, do we wanna say, let’s just move on and treat everyone, you know, according to just who they are as an individual.”
“I agree with you on that. That’s the ideal. But what the evidence shows is that that’s not what’s actually in practice,” Lemon said.
“I think we’re doing better than anywhere else,” Musk replied.
“That’s true, I agree with that,” Lemon said. “But that doesn’t mean anything, that doesn’t mean a lot to a whole lot of people who aren’t able to take advantage of the opportunities that you were able to take advantage of just because of the color of your skin,” Lemon said.
