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. Lemon also alleges he never received any pay for his content deal, which the lawsuit states amounted to a “guaranteed” $1.5 million in the first year.
Lemon’s attorney, Carney R. Shegerian, and a representative for X didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
