From Fox Business: Ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon’s lawsuit against Elon Musk and his social media platform X can go to trial, a judge ruled Tuesday.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Harold E. Kahn ruled that Lemon can proceed with his lawsuit against Musk after the billionaire X owner unsuccessfully tried to get the case venue moved to Texas late last year, The Wrap reported.
Lemon first filed his lawsuit against Musk last August, alleging that the X owner breached their contract and failed to pay him after canceling the journalist’s show and partnership with the platform. This happened following an interview the two had last year that angered Musk, who called the sit-down “invasive and charged.”
Lemon has alleged fraud, misrepresentation, breach of contract, and more.
“The ruling means Don can hold X and Musk accountable in open court. Musk is subject to the legal process, just like everyone else, and that’s important,” Lemon’s lawyer, Carney Shegerian, said in a statement. “There’s no question about Musk’s motives and liability, as documented in his own texts and on X for millions to see.”
