Don Lemon made a dramatic announcement on Wednesday, revealing that he would be leaving X (formerly Twitter) following President-elect Donald Trump’s win. Lemon, who was fired from CNN after a series of controversial remarks, expressed gratitude to his followers for their engagement over the past two years but stated that he no longer felt the platform served its original purpose of promoting honest debate and free speech.

Lemon also criticized X’s new terms of service, which require creators to file lawsuits in the U.S. Southern District of Tarrant County. He voiced concerns that this change could disproportionately benefit conservative interests and make it harder for critics to hold the platform accountable. Lemon encouraged his followers to continue supporting him on other platforms.
