Elon Musk blames Don Lemon’s ‘invasive’ interview for cancelling show on X

Elon Musk cited Don Lemon’s “invasive and charged interview” with the X owner as grounds for walking away from a $1.5 million partnership deal in early 2024, after the former CNN star escalated a legal feud over a canceled new show.

Lemon, who was fired from the network in 2023, sued Musk in August after the billionaire’s social network backed away from partnering with the high-profile journalist to create exclusive video shows for X. The first episode of Lemon’s show was a sit-down interview with Musk, who purchased the platform formally known as Twitter in October 2022 for $44 billion.
