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.

Don might enjoy that. ;)
At some point this country will get its infatuation with affirmative action celebrities. This is a step in the right direction.
LOL... yup
+101
well, if you don’t ask you don’t get. But apparently Lemon has a very over-inflated sense of his value to X, or any platform.
Watch Don Lemon try a Juicy Smellitt type racial accusation and actually try to sue Musk.
And not just any people, but all these hard-working people who count pennies and eat at fast food restaurants and live middle class lives. They have no idea what spoiled brats and liars the media are. Stories like these really reveal the brutal truth.
He must think he’s somebody.
Does this officially confirm that the cybertruck is gay?
As Judge Smails told Spaulding in Caddyshack, “You’ll get nothing and like it.”
“Incredibly, massively inflated ego?”
Nope, not even close.
Lemon is a piece of crap that was given a job, despite his shortcomings, and thinks that his sorry ass is worth money, a car, Las Vegas accommodations and so forth.
Ego? No, just below average brain work.
It is CNN that is guilty of making this creature believe he was more than worthless!
P.S. Do we suppose that Don made a pass at Elon? If so, Big Error!
Strange to even be hard working and yet be influenced by such maggots instead of people to be looked up to.
Correct...certainly a troll for publicity.
Wouldn’t Donnie be more comfortable in a Miata?
They’re too busy working to look into things much - and most other people (and the media itself) tell them the media is a paragon of virtue, soo...
Elon put the squeeze on Lemon!
I think he knew his demands were outrageous, he wanted to get fired. I mean money is one thing, but having power over X’s policies, I mean there is no way he actually thought he would get that.
I think his whole plan was to get fired before the interview aired, so he can claim he got fired because he asked Elon tough questions.
And that will give him enough bona fides to get another gig at MSNBC or some such.
Like the petulant, hateful, supercilious, beligerant,closet jihadi Magic Negro........he is going nowhere but into the hell of his own making. Down the liberal fascist hole
BYE !
If it’s true what this article states this guy must have been on drugs.
