According to the lawsuit filed Thursday, Lemon alleges that Musk agreed to pay him $1.5 million a year to produce videos exclusively on X, to give him a share of the advertising revenue from his videos. Musk also agreed to be Lemon's first guest. But Musk canceled the show before its premiere in March after a testy interview with Lemon. Lemon didn't sign a contract, alleging that Musk reassured that there no need to “fill out paperwork." “X executives used Don to prop up their advertising sales pitch, then canceled their partnership and dragged Don’s name through the mud,” Lemon's lawyer said in a statement.
