The first episode of Don Lemon‘s new show, and his tense interview with Elon Musk, is here.
The former CNN anchor on Monday premiered the debut episode of “The Don Lemon Show,” which consists of an hour-long, contentious interview with the Tesla CEO. Last week, Lemon, 58, revealed that after the interview was conducted, Musk, 52, decided to cancel a partnership between his show and X, formerly Twitter.
“Elon Musk has canceled the partnership I had with X, which they announced as part of their public commitment to amplifying more diverse voices on their platform.
He informed me of his decision hours after an interview I conducted with him on Friday,” Lemon, who was fired by CNN in 2023, said.
X responded that Lemon’s show is “welcome to publish its content on X” but that the company reserves the right “to make decisions about our business partnerships, and after careful consideration, X decided not to enter into a commercial partnership with the show.”
Musk also posted on X that Lemon’s “approach was basically just ‘CNN, but on social media,’ which doesn’t work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is dying.”
