Elon Musk kills Don Lemon's new X show before it ever began

Lemon said that X canceled his contract hours after he interviewed the platform's billionaire owner Elon Musk for the first episode of “The Don Lemon Show,” which was scheduled to stream from this Monday.

“The Don Lemon Show is welcome to publish its content on X, without censorship, as we believe in providing a platform for creators to scale their work and connect with new communities,” X said in a statement. A group of former Twitter executives including the company’s ex-CEO Parag Agrawal are suing Musk and X over millions of dollars in unpaid severance benefits. Lemon’s interview with Musk, which was recorded on Friday, spanned a wide range of topics including the presidential election, and, reportedly, the billionaire’s alleged ketamine use, the subject of a Wall Street Journal story published earlier this year.
