Don Lemon's Partnership with Elon Musk Ends Abruptly
Hours after the former CNN host joined the platform, the deal was canceled.
Reason for the cancellation remains unknown.
Don Lemon announced on Wednesday that his partnership with Elon Musk's social media network, Twitter, had been canceled just hours after the former CNN host had joined the platform.
Lemon told CNN that he had conducted an interview with the network's CEO, Parag Agrawal, and that the interview had been "very positive." However, he said, "Within an hour of the interview, I was told that my partnership with Twitter was over."
Lemon said he did not know why the partnership was canceled, but he speculated that it may have been due to the interview with Agrawal. He said that he had asked Agrawal about Musk's plans for Twitter and that Agrawal had been "very evasive" in his answers.
The cancellation of Lemon's partnership with Twitter is the latest in a series of setbacks for the social media network since Musk took over as CEO. In recent weeks, several top executives have left the company, and Musk has made a number of controversial changes to the platform, including firing employees without notice and loosening content moderation policies.
It is unclear what the future holds for Twitter. However, the cancellation of Lemon's partnership is a sign that the company is facing significant challenges under Musk's leadership.
