Don Lemon Sues Elon Musk Over Canceled X Deal
SUMMARY
Don Lemon, the former CNN anchor, has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk and X (formerly Twitter), alleging that Musk failed to honor a $1.5 million annual content deal. Lemon claims the deal, made in January, was intended to produce premium content for X, including exclusive videos and advertising revenue shares. The agreement reportedly fell apart after a March interview with Musk, where Lemon questioned him about his drug use and politics, leading Musk to cancel the deal. The lawsuit claims that X used Lemon to 'attract advertisers' but abandoned the partnership, damaging Lemon's reputation. Musk later criticized Lemon's show as lacking originality, likening it to "CNN, but on social media," which he claimed was ineffective.
