Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has announced his departure from Elon Musk's social media platform X, citing disagreements over the platform's updated terms of service. The new terms, set to take effect on Friday, require all disputes with X to be resolved in northern Texas courts, which Lemon believes could favor the company in lawsuits.

Lemon's decision comes less than a year after X announced that "The Don Lemon Show" would appear on the platform three times a week. However, the deal was canceled before it was ever signed, and Lemon subsequently sued Musk and X in August. The lawsuit, which claims Lemon was tricked into a business arrangement under false pretenses, is still ongoing.

The controversy surrounding Lemon's departure highlights the challenges faced by X in its efforts to attract high-profile content creators. Despite announcing several video content partnerships earlier this year, the platform's video push has yet to gain significant traction. Lemon's exit is likely to raise further questions about X's ability to attract and retain top talent.
