Former CNN anchor Don Lemon announced Wednesday that X owner Elon Musk has canceled a partnership in which Lemon would host a new show on the social network.
Lemon said he was informed of the decision to cancel the deal just hours after he taped an interview with Musk for the premiere of The Don Lemon Show on March 18.
Musk claimed in a post on X Wednesday that "instead of it being the real Don Lemon, it was really just Jeff Zucker talking through Don, so lacked authenticity.
The interview with Musk will be posted on YouTube, podcast platforms and will still be published on X, Lemon said.
It remains unclear what, if any, contract had been arranged and what the terms of any partnership were between X and The Don Lemon Show.
