Don Lemon, a former CNN host, announced that he is no longer partnered with the social media platform X. The end of their partnership came after Lemon interviewed X’s owner, billionaire Elon Musk.
Lemon claimed Musk was “apparently so upset” after the interview that Musk terminated their partnership.
On Monday, the interview still aired on The Don Lemon Show.
Lemon announced his departure from X with a video to the platform: “Hi, everyone. Elon Musk is mad at me.”
Lemon said that the situation will not change any aspect of his show “except for [his] relationship with Elon and X.” Lemon also said the interview was respectful and covered a broad range of topics, including Musk’s SpaceX company.
It also touched on Musk’s drug use and hate speech on X, two topics Musk is not eager to discuss.
Musk responded to Lemon, claiming the interview was “basically just CNN, but on social media.”
The billionaire criticized Lemon’s approach.
“Instead of it being the real Don Lemon, it was really just [former CNN chief] Jeff Zucker talking through Don, so lacked authenticity.”
Lemon was fired from CNN in April 2023 for sexist remarks made about former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley after 17 years at the outlet. CNN recently agreed to pay Lemon $24.5 million in a lawsuit settlement.
