Don Lemon is suing Elon Musk and X

Don Lemon is taking Elon Musk and X to court over his canceled online news interview show.

When Don Lemon's "premium" video hosting deal on X was canceled in March, a representative for the former CNN anchor threatened legal action. However, Lemon states in the filing that he never signed a contract because Musk told him he didn’t need to “fill out paperwork” and that he’d back his show regardless of his views or interview topics. X chief executive officer Linda Yaccarino says the company was focused on becoming a “video first” platform and inked similar deals with famous names like former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, former Democratic lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard and sports commentator Jim Rome.
