Ex-CNN host Don Lemon said Wednesday that “X” CEO Elon Musk refused to commercialize his new show on the platform.

Lemon announced the launching of his new show, “The Don Lemon Show,” on X and YouTube following his firing from CNN in April. Lemon claimed Musk chose to cancel its partnership with the show Wednesday which has “changed” his “relationship” with the tech mogul and the platform.

Don Lemon said Wednesday that his partnership with Elon Musk went down in flames, hours after the former CNN anchor conducted an interview last week with the erratic billionaire for the debut episode of his new independent web-based show.

“Elon publicly encouraged me to join X with a new show, saying I would have his ‘full support,’” Lemon said in a statement, adding that he took Musk at his word that he was “interested in working directly with diverse voices.”

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon announced Wednesday that Elon Musk has canceled a partnership in which Lemon would host a new show on X, the social media platform Musk owns.

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.

New CNN bosses have axed the morning show that was the centerpiece of former head Chris Licht’s plan to revamp the struggling network, Page Six has learned.

Breakfast TV specialist Licht built the flagship “CNN This Morning” around veteran anchors Don Lemon and Poppy Harlow, as well as up-and-comer Kaitlan Collins.

But it quickly became a flashpoint of drama and intrigue with reports of on-set clashes between the hosts, and Lemon was publicly rebuked by Licht after he famously suggested presidential hopeful Nikki Haley was “past her prime.”

CEO Chris Licht felt he was on a mission to restore the network’s reputation for serious journalism. How did it all go wrong?

“How are we gonna cover Trump? That’s not something I stay up at night thinking about,” Chris Licht told me. “It’s very simple.”

Don Lemon’s ugly rift with CNN boss Chris Licht began on the first day of his ill-fated stint as host of “CNN This Morning” — and the problem was Lemon’s bizarre outfit, according to a report.

On the morning of the show’s Nov. 1 debut, Lemon — who was eventually fired by Licht on April 24 after 17 years at the left-leaning news network — waltzed onto the set wearing a white jacket with a fur collar, The Atlantic reported.

Monday’s purge of Tucker Carlson, from Fox News, and Don Lemon, from CNN, confirmed a belief that has been gnawing at me for years: We think about cable news all wrong.

The Friday episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that turned out to be his last drew only about 2.6 million viewers — a measly 1 percent of the American adult population. But on Monday, the news of his firing was one of the top stories in the country. That’s because the power of cable news is in its reach and repetition, not its ratings.
