Don Lemon revealed his contract with social media platform X was terminated after a contentious interview with Elon Musk. Joe Pags questions the motives of the former CNN host.
Lemon claimed that nothing was off limits in the interview with Musk, with the billionaire deciding to cancel the contract that had previously been offered for the former CNN host to helm a program on the platform. Elon Musk defended the decision, claiming Don Lemon was under the control of former CNN executive Jeff Zucker.
After hearing of the news, syndicated radio host Joe Pags took to X to share his thoughts on what he viewed as Lemon’s missteps.
“Let me make sure I’ve got the story right… Elon Musk, here on X, throws him a lifeline. Don Lemon takes the lifeline. He’s going to do a show on X. Got a contract. First interview? Elon Musk. And he gives him the hardest time he possibly can, trying to prove that he’s some sort of a journalist, which he’s not,” Joe Pags said.
“You can go through Don Lemon’s history and the things that he said on CNN, which so many of them were decidedly and verifiably wrong, that you just had to look at the guy said, ‘Alright, well, listen, it’s a commentary show. And if CNN is making money, what are you going to do?’ But this guy sits down and proceeds to bite the hand that’s feeding him. And then what does he do? He runs to CNN, shows part of the video, and then complains about the guy that just tried to save him from being dumped by CNN! You can’t make this up!”
