The fallout comes after Lemon's probing questions during the interview, which Musk reportedly found objectionable.
Lemon pressed Musk on various topics, including hate speech moderation on X, Musk's meeting with former President Donald Trump, and his use of ketamine. Musk's responses, particularly his dismissive attitude towards Lemon's questions, reportedly led to the breakdown of their partnership.
Despite previous indications of a potential collaboration, Musk informed Lemon that the deal was canceled, sparking potential legal repercussions.
Lemon's camp asserts that a deal had been agreed upon, citing public announcements and communications with Musk's representatives. The dispute underscores broader concerns surrounding Musk's behavior and his role in managing X, particularly in light of previous controversies.
The cancellation of the deal adds another layer of scrutiny to Musk's leadership and decision-making within the social media platform.
