Former CNN star presenter Don Lemon has sued multi-billionaire Elon Musk and his social media company X, formerly known as Twitter, over the cancellation of a talk show deal. The lawsuit alleges that Mr Musk and his company unfairly terminated a partnership with Mr Lemon and refused to pay him after using his name to promote the social media platform with advertisers. "The lawsuit alleges fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and misappropriation of name and likeness," said a post on the Facebook page of the law firm representing Mr Lemon, Shegerian & Associates. The network made the decision after Mr Lemon made on-air comments about then Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley being past her prime. Shortly after Mr Lemon's exit from CNN, Mr Musk reached out to him on X.
