The complaint, filed in San Francisco County Superior Court, alleges fraud, breach of contract and misappropriation of Lemon’s name and likeness.
Musk and X enticed Lemon with “false promises and representations,” the complaint alleges.
In May 2023, shortly after CNN terminated Lemon, Musk posted on X: “Have you considered doing your show on this platform?
Within a day of the interview, Musk sent Lemon’s agent a text message saying the partnership and contract were canceled.
“To this day, Defendants have not compensated Lemon pursuant to the exclusive partnership deal that Defendants induced Lemon to enter into,” the filing says.
