What triggered Elon Musk so much in Don Lemon's interview that he cancelled Lemon's deal with X?
"Musk, who rarely grants interviews to journalists, sat for an hour-long conversation in which Lemon peppered him with questions about some of his most controversial behavior, from his drug use to his growing political influence to his stance on content moderation.
Lemon repeatedly asked Musk whether he bears responsibility for the spread of hate speech or other dangerous content on X, but the tech magnate was dismissive. When Lemon brought up instances of racist and antisemitic content on the platform, Musk argued such posts didn’t violate X’s standards." - Washington Post

Musk rejects the idea that the ‘buck stops’ with him
"The most tense exchange in the interview arose when Lemon brought up Musk’s previous statement that X advertisers could “kill” the platform with a boycott. (Several advertisers left the platform over concerns their ads were appearing alongside antisemitic content and other hate speech.)
When Lemon suggested that the companies’ suspension of their advertising was a form of free speech, and that Musk might bear responsibility if X fails, he grew frustrated.
“You said, ‘If they kill the company, it’s them,’ but doesn’t the buck stop with you?” Lemon asked. Musk appeared rattled. “Don, I have to say, choose your questions carefully,” he responded. “There’s five minutes left.” - Washington Post

We used SayWhen to search President Biden's State Of The Union (SOTU) speech to find when Kate Cox was mentioned.
Kate Cox - "Joining us tonight is Kate Cox, a wife and mother from Dallas. When she became pregnant again, the fetus had a fatal condition. Her doctors told Kate that her own life and her ability to have children in the future were at risk if she didn’t act. Because Texas law banned abortion, Kate and her husband had to leave the state to get the care she needed. What her family has gone through should never have happened as well. But it is happening to so many others. There are state laws banning the right to choose, criminalizing doctors, and forcing survivors of rape and incest to leave their states as well to get the care they need. (9 min 23 seconds)"
