Ex-CNN star Lemon sues Musk over cancelled X showEarlier this year, X reached deals with Mr Lemon, former US congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and sports radio presenter Jim Rome, as it tries to bring advertisers back to the platform after a series of controversies. Former CNN star presenter Don Lemon has sued multi-billionaire Elon Musk and his social media company X, formerly known as Twitter, over the cancellation of a talk show deal. "The lawsuit alleges fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and misappropriation of name and likeness," said a post on the Facebook page of the law firm representing Mr Lemon, Shegerian & Associates. The network made the decision after Mr Lemon made on-air comments about then Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley being past her prime. Shortly after Mr Lemon's exit from CNN, Mr Musk reached out to him on X.
