Don Lemon is suing Elon Musk and X for breach of contract after the owner of the platform canceled a short-lived partnership deal following a testy interview.
Lemon and X cut an agreement for the former CNN host to produce content on the platform after he was let go from the network. The complaint, which Lemon’s team said was filed Thursday in California Superior Court, said X agreed to pay Lemon $1.5 million and a cut of advertising revenue in a one-year deal. But X and Musk never intended to fulfill the deal, the complaint alleges.
