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.

Days after Don Lemon said that Elon Musk canceled his partnership with X hours after conducting an interview with the tech mogul, the former CNN anchor on Monday dropped the first episode of The Don Lemon Show on YouTube and podcast streaming platforms, featuring a contentious interview with Musk.
Throughout their conversation, Lemon brought up questions related to Musk’s drug use, his affiliations with Donald Trump, advertisers pulling ads off X, hate speech on the app and other topics that the South African businessman appeared to deem troublesome.
Ten minutes into the interview, following a discussion about Musk’s political leanings, Lemon noted that the X owner recently met with Trump in Florida and asked what they spoke about. “I was at a breakfast at a friend’s place and Donald Trump came by—that’s it,” Musk said. When Lemon asked him to confirm he did not travel...

Elon Musk told Don Lemon on his new YouTube series “The Don Lemon Show” that he has no intentions of financially supporting Donald Trump.
In a one-on-one interview with the X (formerly Twitter) owner, Lemon questioned Musk about a wide array of topics, including his Tesla business, the way misinformation is spread on the social media platform and his breakfast outing with the former president.
“Speaking of Maga, you recently met with Donald Trump in Florida, what did you guys talk about?” Lemon questioned on Monday’s episode.
“I was at a breakfast at a friend’s place, and Donald Trump came by. That’s it’s,” Musk replied, stating that his intention of going to Florida wasn’t in any way related to meeting with Trump. The tech giant added that he was “fine” with the idea of Trump stopping by for breakfast.

The debut episode of The Don Lemon Show was posted on X/Twitter and other platforms this morning, featuring the former CNN anchor’s contentious interview with Elon Musk.
Their sit down, running just over an hour, led to Musk canceling a deal he had with Lemon to post some exclusive content on X. Lemon is still free to post on X, but it won’t be part of a paid agreement.
During the interview, Lemon asked Musk about his posts amplifying the “great replacement theory,” as well as the billionaire’s ketamine use.
Musk said that he used the drug to relieve what he said was a “negative chemical state,” including depression, and that he was doing it under a doctor’s care.
“Ketamine is helpful for getting someone out of a negative frame of mind,” Musk said.
“Do you feel like you ever abuse it?” Lemon asked.
“I don’t think so.

Don Lemon’s interview with Elon Musk for The Don Lemon Show, which marked the beginning and end of his brief deal to start broadcasting on X (formerly Twitter), dropped Monday morning and is pretty much exactly what you’d expect: a lot of ducking, dodging, hypotheticals, gotchas, and reverse gotchas.
During the hour-long interview, Lemon asked Musk about everything from his drug use and censorship to the Great Replacement Theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Lemon even managed to extract a definition for whatever the hell the “woke mind virus” is.
