Is Don Lemon's RIDICULOUS list of demands (which included a free Tesla Cybertruck) the real reason Musk cut ties with him?



Don Lemon’s show was dumped by Elon Musk before it even got a chance to air, but it’s not just because Lemon asked Elon unsavory questions about needed censorship on X in their recent interview.

The ex-CNN anchor also sent over a wildly greedy list of demands during contract talks to host a show on the social media platform X.

Musk was not impressed.

The list allegedly included a free Tesla Cybertruck, a $5 million upfront payment on top of an $8 million salary, and a private jet trip to Las Vegas with his boyfriend in exchange for hosting his show exclusively on X.

Lemon also apparently asked for equity stake in the multibillion-dollar company and the right to approve any changes in X policy as it relates to news content.

After canceling his partnership with Lemon, Musk wrote in a statement on X that the “Don Lemon show is welcome to publish its content on X without censorship.”

“However, like any enterprise, we reserve the right to make decisions about our business partnerships, and after careful consideration, X decided not to enter into a commercial partnership with the show,” Musk continued.

Pat Gray is shocked Musk considered a partnership with Lemon in the first place, considering the astronomical list of demands.

“Why would you ever agree to any of that?” Gray asks.

“As a creator on there, Don, if you believe in your product, you will make money off of people flocking to watch it,” Keith Malinak says, adding, “So, we’ll see how he does over there.”

#BanTheADL — 'If you're a fan of BlazeTV, odds are the ADL would likely label you anti-Semitic'



If you try to look up what ADL stands for on the group's website, you won't find the correct answer, which is the Anti-Defamation League. Instead, this is what you’ll find:

The reality is, however, that fighting antisemitism and other forms of hate is just a guise to mask the organization’s intentions to control and censor, which is why there’s been a widespread increase in people calling for the banning of the ADL.

“Even though the organization claims to just simply stand against antisemitism and against bigotry in practice, in reality, they are nothing more than a bunch of crybullies who use the accusation of antisemitism or bigotry to silence dissent and any criticism of leftism or globalism,” says Lauren Chen.

For example, the ADL has specifically targeted people like Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump, labeling them as anti ________ (insert whatever word you fancy.)

Jonathan Greenblatt, the director of the ADL, tweeted this following Tucker’s departure from Fox News:

“It’s about time. For far too long, Tucker Carlson has used his primetime show to spew antisemitic, racist, xenophobic and anti-LGBTQ hate to millions. @ADL has long called for his firing for this and many other offenses, including spreading the Great Replacement Theory.”

Greenblatt also stated that banning Trump from Twitter was “an excellent step” and “a fitting end to a legacy of spewing hate and vitriol.”

And while genuine antisemitism and hatred are wrong, “this isn't actually about antisemitism,” says Lauren. “If you're a fan of BlazeTV, odds are the ADL would likely label you anti-Semitic too.”

Why? Because, in the eyes of the ADL, if you're watching BlazeTV, chances are you too stand against the woke nonsense plaguing the country, making you a terrible, hate-filled person who deserves to be silenced.

Perhaps even more upsetting is the fact that the platform is also incredibly hypocritical. The ADL went after Tucker for discussing demographic changes in the U.S. as a result of immigration, but its website states:

“With historically high birth rates among Palestinians, and a possible influx of Palestinian refugees and their descendants now living around the world, Jews would quickly be a minority. ... It is unrealistic and unacceptable to expect the State of Israel to voluntarily subvert its own sovereign existence and nationalist identity and become a vulnerable minority within what was once its own territory.”

Hmmm. So it’s okay to advocate for borders for Israelis to prevent them from becoming minorities, but it's not okay to advocate for borders for Americans to prevent them from becoming minorities?

However, the tides may be turning for the ADL. It appears that the organization may have made a potentially “fatal misstep” by effectively choosing to “slander and defame X or Twitter under Elon Musk's leadership,” says Lauren.

Ironically, Musk is suing the organization for defamation — the very thing they supposedly stand against — and he's got a darn good case.
