, the owner of this platform Elon Musk sent a terse text to his reps: “Contract terminated” after an interview Lemon did with Musk last Friday that was not to the adult toddler’s liking, including questions about his ketamine use.

The much touted multi-million-dollar deal was a pricey effort to attract high profile media creators to X. Not so much when perpetually aggrieved billionaires in desperate need for constant affirmation run the place. So much for free speech.

I had told Don that this is exactly what would occur, including at a recent book tour event in NYC for my memoir, “Burn Book,” he moderated, despite promises by Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino — who extravagantly touted this deal at CES to advertisers — that this time was different.

Well, it’s again clear who is actually in charge: A thin-skinned rich dude who operates via petty whims and exhausting grievances and who calls every fair question a hit piece. Who does that remind you of?

6/9
Btw X will have to pay out, so another unnecessary cost to a business going in the wrong direction. Yaccarino was jazz-handsing video efforts yesterday, knowing full well this had happened. It’s another embarrassment for which she will not blame her meddling boss, but everyone…

7/9
And here is @donlemon statement saying so.

8/9
And here is the video in which he says what went down. Nice “fur” @donlemon!

9/9
We asked Don to come on @PivotPod to talk about it OBVI and what went down.

You canceled my contract after our interview. I don’t think you believe in free speech.

You’d think somebody would come out and stop these people acting like these news channels are gangs. The anchors who get fired can’t even go to another station cause they have to worry about fallout from people who don’t even watch. People who work behind the scenes jump around networks all the time. Everybody can’t put out a podcast man. Stop with the dumb shyt. Lenin was stupid to try to get involved with Elon Musk.

If you think about it Don Lemon had nothing to lose. Elon stays on code thru out the interview, Lemon secures the bag through X and Elon gets to promote having a liberal voice on his platform. On the flip, Elon breaks the fourth wall, and Lemon uses the dust up to promote his new YouTube show. That Zesty dude knew what he was doing.

Above the fray.
Also, it has to be said.
Despite his professed political and social leanings, Lemon had no qualms about signing up for the elon muskkk backed media project.
And this after musk freed the use of slurs on his platform, and started making and cosigning racist comments about Black people.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.
