Earlier this week, Don Lemon revealed his contract for a digital video show on the X platform was canceled by Elon Musk. Musk defended the decision but says the deal could still be a lucrative one for the former CNN host.
After it was reported that Lemon would still be publishing episodes of The Don Lemon Show to the social media platform, Musk quipped that the former CNN host would still be entitled to advertising revenue generated from the program airing on X.
“Even though I think Don (Lemon) is a pompous fool who spouts nonsense, he is still free to upload his show to X and will receive advertising revenue,” Musk wrote in a post to X.
Musk reportedly decided to end the contract with Lemon — which he reportedly failed to sign — after a tense interview for the debut episode of the program.
In a snippet shared with CNN, Don Lemon is seen asking Musk questions about his financial support of Donald Trump, and also about the billionaire’s alleged drug usage.
