New York — Don Lemon’s partnership with Elon Musk went down in flames Wednesday, hours after the former CNN anchor conducted an interview with the erratic billionaire for the debut episode of his new independent web-based show. But a spokesperson for Lemon told CNN that the media personality expects Musk to honor the financial terms of the agreement. “Don has a deal with X and expects to be paid for it,” the spokesperson said. The billionaire has at times suspended journalists from his platform and filed lawsuits against watchdogs for publishing reports critical of X. Last year, Musk endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory, which resulted in droves of advertisers fleeing X.
