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.
The lawsuit was filed in California Superior Court in San Francisco, a legal filing showed.
X cancelled its partnership with Lemon in March after he said Musk would be his first guest in an interview.
“His approach was basically just ‘CNN, but on social media’, which doesn’t work,” Musk later said in a post on the platform, adding that Lemon was welcome to build viewership on the platform.
