‘The Don Lemon Show’ in tailspin after being dumped by Elon Musk: ‘Nobody is watching’

Don Lemon’s new online show is grappling with a fast-shrinking audience after he was unceremoniously dumped by Elon Musk — and the pittance in revenue may not even cover the costs of his bare-bones production, The Post has learned.

The former CNN anchor — who had demanded millions of dollars, a flight on a SpaceX rocket and a Cybertruck before being fired by Musk’s social network X following a testy sit-down interview — suffered a massive decline in viewers for the second episode of “The Don Lemon Show.”

“Nobody is watching,” one media watcher told The Post. “Poor Don, he doesn’t realize people watched the first interview because of Elon — not him! Watching the Elon interview reminded everyone of how much they dislike Don.”

Lemon’s second show with tech journalist Kara Swisher, which was posted on X and YouTube last Wednesday, has garnered just 190,000 and 93,000 views, respectively, as of Tuesday morning.

That’s a fraction of the views from his interview with Musk, posted to both sites on March 18, which has amassed 2.2 million views on X and 1.2 million views on YouTube as of Tuesday.

His interview with Swisher wasn’t even reposted by the well-known tech journalist, who, like Lemon, has 1.5 million followers on X.
