Don Lemon said his new show on X (formerly Twitter) was canceled by Elon Musk after a "tense" interview, alleging Musk was "mad" at him.
Despite expecting a formal contract, X clarified there was no signed agreement with Lemon, and reserved the right to make business decisions.
Lemon's spokesperson threatened legal action.
The incident highlights the platform's approach to free speech and content moderation under Musk, who has been criticized for his handling of hate speech and journalist accounts.
