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.

A million bucks for each audience member? Seems steep for a single black homo

Don Lemon got his start in media as a lying, BLM demagogue in the Travon Martin, Big Mike Brown and other race baiting media schemes.

He was on the leading edge of our media's current game plan of outright lying and manufacturing false flag events to further their Progressive Far Left agenda.

All too easy for the hard working to lapse into a routine of just coming home from work, having a few beers, and watching some media queers.

” Watch Don Lemon try a Juicy Smellitt type racial accusation and actually try to sue Musk”

I think you’re correct.
What group on earth is going to fund such wanton faggotry?
What else can Don Le’mon do at this point?
Kudos to Elon for telling him to FO.

Did Musk ever employ him in the first place, or just have contract negotiations?

If the latter, and they failed, I would not call that being fired.
