Don Lemon demanded the sun, the moon and the stars from the SpaceX boss – before being unceremoniously dumped this week, The Post has learned.
The ex-CNN anchor sent over an astronomical wish list to Elon Musk during contract talks to host a show on the billionaire’s social media platform X – including a free Tesla Cybertruck, a $5 million upfront payment on top of an $8 million salary, an equity stake in the multibillion-dollar company, and the right to approve any changes in X policy as it relates to news content, according to a document reviewed by The Post.
Lemon — who was expected to air an interview with Musk for next week’s debut episode on X — had also demanded a private jet flight to Las Vegas, a suite for him and his fiance, and that the company pay for their day drinking and massages, a source with knowledge of the situation said.
Musk agreed to do the interview with Lemon despite the fact that he was aware of some of Lemon’s outlandish demands, sources told The Post.
The proposal reviewed by The Post was sent from Lemon’s agents at United Talent Agency to X’s leadership in December.

where’s the “Ha-Ha” guy??
Amazing hubris.
I bet Elon enjoyed crushing this bug like, well, a bug.
Methinks he values himself more than anyone else, especially in the market.
how about give me a Cybertruck, and we will do some podcasts and my agent will negotiate based on the profit I add to your platform.
P.S.
I will want roadster #101 whenever you make them.
Lemon thinks pretty highly of himself, huh? Who could have known?
What an idiot. He needs to go back to CNN if there are any viewers left over there.
and the RATS take another one in the.........HA ha!!!
No one seems to have ever told him he’s a not-too-bright hack
Lemon thinks he is a legend in his own mind.
Lemon was trolling. He probably already has another deal somewhere and wanted to get Musk into “controversy” before the launch of his show.
Or, he has an incredibly, massively inflated ego.
Lemon will say the dumbest things with a straight face, like when he asked if that missing flight might have disappeared into a black hole.
I ask anyone who would hire him... What possible value could a racist idiot like Lemon ever bring to your company? He’s been fired everywhere he’s been, and for damn good reasons.
What’s the point of having GFY money if you never tell anybody to GFY?
How could anyone other than a narcissist have such hubris?
Nice to see Elon kicked him to the curb.
Yeah, that free speech suppression by Musk was so flagrant it was.....
What? What? What did Lemon demand?
Did he think this information would not be released to the public after his little fit?
I bet he’s pretty sour
I bet he’s pretty sour
Just think. These demands are apparently the norm for media personnel. And, they sit behind their desk and mock you as they tell you the economy is great, Biden is doing a fantastic job, and you are racist for complaining. That’s before returning to their hotel room for a massage and drinks for which they do not have to pay a dime.
And people tune in to hear their opinion night after night and go to bed feeling as if they are informed. Dang, I’m glad I don’t have cable or any streaming service in my home. I haven’t watched “television” in almost 25 years.
