Don Lemon demanded the sun, the moon and the stars from the SpaceX boss – before being unceremoniously dumped this week, The Post has learned.

The ex-CNN anchor sent over an astronomical wish list to Elon Musk during contract talks to host a show on the billionaire’s social media platform X – including a free Tesla Cybertruck, a $5 million upfront payment on top of an $8 million salary, an equity stake in the multibillion-dollar company, and the right to approve any changes in X policy as it relates to news content, according to a document reviewed by The Post.

Lemon — who was expected to air an interview with Musk for next week’s debut episode on X — had also demanded a private jet flight to Las Vegas, a suite for him and his fiance, and that the company pay for their day drinking and massages, a source with knowledge of the situation said.

Musk agreed to do the interview with Lemon despite the fact that he was aware of some of Lemon’s outlandish demands, sources told The Post.

I mean.. tucker was fired from fox because of politics, his show was the most popular show on fox news. Lot of people held their nose and tuned into fox news, just to watch tucker.

Lemon was just a copy and paste of every other show host on cnn and MSNBC. The shite you heard and saw on his show, you could've seen on every show on cnn.

I brought up tucker, because I can understand if tucker came up with those insane demands. He'd be somewhat worth x giving him lavish treatment. I can't understand why lemon thought he was worth anything like that though..

For a person that contributes less to the world than your teacher, bus driver, plumber or electrician.

Someone who makes those kinds of insane demands doesn't seriously want the job.

This is hilarious. Outside of maybe the private jet, when you are making 8M a year, you are not going to go through the hassle to nickel and dime someone over friggin drinks and a massage. It’s not worth the time or hassle. Your time required to make the $8M is way more valuable.

His arrogance is astounding.

He's beyond arrogant, he's just batshit crazy. This person was supposedly a legit newsie not that long ago. Morning Joe is on that level. The MSM is a farce

Ol boy thinks too highly of himself. Thankfully, Elon dumped his arse and we won’t have to hear about him again anytime soon.
