In January, former CNN anchor Don Lemon announced a partnership with Elon Musk to produce long-form video content on X (formerly Twitter), but after interviewing Musk for his premiere episode, the agreement has turned from a green light to a red light.
According to Musk, "The Don Lemon Show" lacked originality, explaining his reasons for canceling the deal via a post to X, writing, “His approach was basically just ‘CNN, but on social media,’ which doesn’t work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is dying." But Lemon sees things differently, issuing a statement of his own where he says "a whole lot" went down during their interview, which he still plans to post to X, and be paid for.
