Elon Musk cancels X partnership with former CNN anchor Don Lemon after interview

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon announced Wednesday that Elon Musk has canceled a partnership in which Lemon would host a new show on X, the social media platform Musk owns.

Lemon said he was informed of the decision to cancel the deal just hours after he taped an interview with Musk for the premiere of The Don Lemon Show on March 18.

“We had a good conversation. Clearly he felt differently,” Lemon said of the interview in a statement Wednesday. “His commitment to a global town square where all questions can be asked and all ideas can be shared seems not to include questions of him from people like me.”
