Court: Musk Can’t Move Don Lemon’s Case From CA
Courthouse News reports:
Federal courts do not have jurisdiction over a fraud and breach of contract suit filed by former CNN host Don Lemon against Elon Musk, a federal judge said in a ruling determining that Musk and X Corp. were citizens of California when the action was filed.
Lemon’s suit — claiming that he and Musk had a deal for an interview show on X, including a guaranteed $1.5 million annual salary along with other bonuses and incentives — will remain in San Francisco Superior Court where he first filed it in August.
Lemon claims he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to set up a company and studio to record the interviews but was never paid after Musk became angry at a question during a March 8 interview.
