Don Lemon was fired again — even before the debut of his new show on X. Elon Musk abruptly canceled “The Don Lemon Show” hours after sitting down for an interview with the canned CNN anchor that was supposed to serve as his premiere episode on the platform, Lemon said Wednesday. Lemon had taped the sitdown with the billionaire owner of X, SpaceX and Tesla on Friday. “Elon Musk has canceled the partnership I had with X,” Lemon said in a statement posted to the social media site.

With Lemon, to meet him is to despise him, so I bet that once Musk saw what he had.....he got sick to his stomach and said, "I can't inflict this deranged racist on the world."

And I bet the Lemon got a million dollar separation bonus as part of being cancelled/fired. If so, one must wonder whether he simply wanted to be fired on purpose, and whether, perhaps, he recently received a job offer from MesSNBC?

Lemon is a loser who has to figure out how to make it on his own as a business, not someone propped up by a failing CNN. Poor thing. Who's gonna invite him to the next yacht party? Aww. . .

Just days after RuPaul launched an all-inclusive online bookstore named Allstora, the store removed books from right-wing authors Thursday, according to National Review. Within days of its opening, Allstora faced backlash for offering books deemed homophobic, transphobic, anti-woke, and even Nazi in nature, according to National Review. This prompted a policy reversal, leading to the removal of certain conservative authors and content labeled offensive, including works by Donald Trump, Elon Musk and others. RuPaul created an online bookstore to fight against "book bans." On his website he claims "the censorship of ANY book is incompatible with the survival of Democracy", and promised to carry ALL books.
