The US lawsuit claimed that X agreed to pay Lemon at least $1.5m. Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk months after a partnership with Musk’s X social media platform was scrapped. In the lawsuit filed Thursday in the United States, Lemon said the X owner unfairly terminated their deal, refused to pay him and used the media personality’s name to attract advertisers. X cancelled its partnership with Lemon in March after he said Musk would be his first guest in an interview. The lawsuit claimed that X agreed to pay Lemon at least $1.5m with additional payments as incentives and a part of the advertising revenue.
