Don Lemon is suing Elon Musk and his social media platform after the billionaire abruptly scrapped a content partnership with the former CNN anchor.

Don Lemon , a former CNN anchor, is suing Elon Musk and his social media network X for $35 million, alleging fraud and breach of contract after the billionaire abruptly scrapped a content partnership between them in March. The lawsuit, posted by Variety, which earlier reported on the legal claim, claims that Musk and X promised that Lemon would have 'full authority and control over the work he produced even if disliked' by the Tesla CEO and his executives.

X announced the arrangement was ending just days before its maiden broadcast was set to air on X in March, while Musk derided Lemon's approach at the time as 'basically just 'CNN, but on social media.
