Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has accused social media platform X of dropping a partnership with his show before it debuted because of a “tense” interview with CEO Elon Musk.

Mr. Lemon, who was fired from CNN last April, announced earlier this year that he would host a new show on X three times a week in 30-minute episodes discussing topics such as politics, sports, culture, and entertainment.
