Don Lemon announces departure from X - his reason will leave you in stitches

Don Lemon, who came a hair’s breadth from having his own show on X, is now leaving the platform.

The former CNN anchor posted a video explaining his decision to leave the social media giant because he no longer believes the platform is about “free speech.”

“Hi everyone, I have loved connecting with all of you on Twitter and then on X for all these years, but it’s time for me to leave the platform,” he said. “I once believed that it was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency and free speech. But I now feel it does not serve that purpose.”

“In addition, starting this Friday, November 15th, X is implementing new terms of service which, among other things, states that quote ‘all disputes be brought exclusively in the US District Court for the northern district of Texas, or state courts located in Tarrant County, Texas.,'” Lemon continued. “The full terms of service can be found on my written statement or on the X website.”

Now as the Washington Post recently reported on X’s decision to change the terms, “This quote ‘ensures that such lawsuits will be heard in courthouses that are a hub for conservatives which experts say could make it easier for X to shield itself from litigation and punish critics.’ I think that speaks for itself,” he said.

X users responded to the video:

Nobody cares

X is not an airport. You can leave without announcing your departure

Good.
1. You get no views
2. You’re irrelevant
3. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out

Remember when Don Lemon tried to make ludicrous demands of Elon Musk in order to do a show on ?

That was funny.

Imagine being gifted an interview of Elon Musk to jump start your career on X and totally F’ing it up.
