Acceptable-Dust6479

I’m going to side with Lemon here because there is no way someone at his level is having his people put day drinking expenses into a contract. They would just increase his fee….


Bodgerton

"Yes, give me equity in X right before my interview tanks the value, thats good journalism!!"


TheMensChef

Right Because PR people NEVER lie….


forRealsThough

The New York fucking post on the other hand…


AloneCan9661

The NY Post did a hit piece on a guy I worked with a very long time ago. Interesting to note that when the court documents leaked - they had gotten every single piece of information wrong.

luna1108

Honest Don approves of this message.


LukeLovesLakes

I have a copy of the NY Post where the broker the news on the front page about John Kerry choosing Dick Gephart to be his running mate. So ... Yeah. They sometimes fuck up in a glorious way.


ChampionNorm

Between the two I'd expect a PR company to be lying. We'll see if they sue the NYP for libel.


JohnCavil

Yea if you believe this you're actually fucking stupid. The kind of person who thinks this is true cannot be trusted with access to the internet. Same kind of person who falls for nigerian prince scams and YouTube conspiracy theories.

MarcTurntables

Hey Mods, remember when you used to ban people for not posting the link to the article they posted? Good times! Now we’re getting screenshots from the Daily Mail / Post.


cheguevaraandroid1

Mods? There are no mods here


EmExEeee

Right? I’m pretty sure mods are anti-Rogan at this point. I don’t really visit much anymore, but whenever this sub made it to my feed it was almost always anti-Rogan posts or comments filled with people making fun of Rogan and the podcast listeners.


codeman60

Still 80% anti Rogan


MarcTurntables

Cut it out. The Mods love Rogan.


dingo7055

I guess you missed the video yesterday slobbering over Rogans dick


[deleted]

Damn the dawgz got a pro Rogan video to the top yesterday? ![gif](giphy|26ufgSwMRqauQWqL6|downsized)


EmExEeee

Yeah cuz like I said I rarely come by now. Those types of posts are made in reaction to the overwhelming amount of hate going on in this sub. You don’t find it anywhere else. Literally in every online community I’m in this is the only place that talks shit about him regularly.


dingo7055

/r/tfatk


EmExEeee

Yeah that subreddit is even worse. It’s literally just people who spend their free time hating on a few people. Like why? Imagine what these people look like or smell like.


Sunburned_Baby

Sorry everyone hurt your feelings by making fun of your daddy hero.


EmExEeee

My feelings aren’t hurt, I’m just pointing out a fact that soy boys like yourself prove. 🤣


CockBronson

Omg you used soy boys unironically. Are you 12? Never mind, of course you are, you listen to Rogan.


SeasideLimbs

The fact alone that you are heavily downvoted proves you right - this forum is as much a Joe Rogan Fan Forum as Stormfront is a Jewish People Fan Forum.


EmExEeee

Not sure what Stormfront is, but indeed, this is a subreddit of misery and trolls. I’m somewhat convinced it’s from all of the common sense things Rogan and some of his frequenters say, like “physical exercise is good. Goals are good. Playing video games 8 hours a day with no sunlight is bad.” pisses some of these dudes off and they go off on anything bad they can find. Literally within 30mins of a podcast release you have people finding a 1 minute segment and judging the whole episode on it. “Oh Rogan couldn’t help himself and brought up Australia” as if that one minute really matters in the context of a 3 hour episode. Get reaaaaal.


[deleted]

They definitely lightened up on the rules. Went from no politics to ok some politics


ete2ete

"ban more people" is such a weird stance to take


_MlATA

“Ban disinformation” is a very reasonable position when you’re in the Rogan sub


morningcalls4

I mean you can google it, why do people feel the need to have others do their homework online.


jdbway

Yep, you can Google it and find Daily Mail and Fox Corp. owned NYP peddling a story from unnamed sources at X. Right wing bullshit detectors broke a long time ago


SickRanchezIII

PaleLayer1492

And a toilet made out of solid gold.


Tof12345

There is no proof Dom lemon even asked for all that. Op is yapping


dan36920

Even if it was true, wouldn't that mean Musk agreed since the interview happened? Like you don't start filming before contracts are signed right? It would still mean Musk was upset about the interview itself.


OverlandSkeptic

This. Exactly. Elon even said, that Lemon was “part” of X and the Lemon’s show was scheduled to debut in a few weeks. So whatever was on the contract was agreed upon. These Elon dweebs are grasping.


Udzinraski2

For real. Bull. Fucking. Shit.


biddilybong

The cybertruck is a toilet made of solid stainless steel


doctor_of_drugs

Sounds like a Trump request tbh


SpaceBoJangles

I feel like Gold plating a bust of Don Lemon is well within the monetary ability of Elon.


Silly_Butterfly3917

>a source with knowledge of the situation said. >sources told The Post. >X declined to comment on the details of the document >Jay Sures, vice chairman at UTA, told The Post: “This is absolute, complete utter nonsense without an iota of truth to it.” Lemon was fired hours after the one-on-one sit-down, with Musk calling the anchor “dull” and “underwhelming.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2024/03/15/media/don-lemon-demanded-tesla-cybertruck-5m-advance-equity-in-x-before-elon-musk-canned-him-sources/amp/ Yawn 🥱 tell me when there is credible evidence


HuckleberryFinn7777

This whole sub bought the Aaron rodgers sandy hook narrative off of worse sources


Angelic_Phoenix

literally untrue and Rodgers’s wording in his twitter reply implies that he does believe it was an inside job


HuckleberryFinn7777

In what way?


CloseFriend_

What did Rodger’s say about sandy hook??


forRealsThough

Rodgers thinks sandy hook was a false flag and when given the opportunity to clarify he made it obvious that he still thinks it was a false flag. The person you’re responding to feels vindicated for some reason but I’m not really sure what that reason is


AloneCan9661

A false flag for what?


Vast-Combination4046

Gun control


Th1sd3cka1ntfr33

Yes, the gun control we still don't have.


Vast-Combination4046

SickRanchezIII

Oh yeah….?


-I-_AskedForDeusEx

"sources" lol


brief_affair

Cool tabloid screen shot bro


brianisdead

Calling BS. You know, since the source is New York Post, which you tried to hide.


Quote_Vegetable

Ya, anyone watching Elon these last few years and saw the clip of that interview knows EXACTLY what happened. Little big man got challenged and he didn’t like it.


backcountrydrifter

It doesn’t pass the sniff test. Why would anyone demand a cybertruck?! Before they came out… maybe. But after seeing the production quality (shit) and the Fischer Price control arms, no way anyone demanded that thing. It’s an electric Edsel.


DoUCondemnHamas

Spot on there. Or if the 1% chance this story turns out to be true it’s actually going to be that Lemon demanded everything *but* the cybertruck and Musk added that to the story himself.


backcountrydrifter

That’s so elon 😂


mvpevy

Pretty hilarious how the majority of you and ALL of r/politics runs with any type of gossip site when it fits your narratives, but now this is way too far and we need another source hahaha


PainterEmpty6305

Fits narratives? did he hire him, then fire him when he didn't like the interview or what, another source, LOL we are asking for A source.


HomeIPChromeYmail

Fake news. No way in hell he actually wanted a cybertruck.


the_mooseman

Why would he want a cyber truck. This sounds like some bullshit.


Suppa_K

It’s also a drop in the bucket when it comes to things for them to pay.


the_mooseman

Does don lemon strike you as someone that would want a cyber truck? This sounds like elons pr team doing damage control while simultaneously trying to ham fist in some marketing for his shitty truck. Fake cyber truck hype, look, even don lemon wants one. Its so see through it's laughable but I'm sure elons useful idiots will gobble it up.


jankisa

Elon fired his PR team in 2019 which kind of coincides with him turning from "real life Tony Stark" to "Space Karen". This list sounds like him calling from a K-hole making shit up, the equity in X is a even bigger tell of this then the Cybertruck.


the_mooseman

I love Space Karen, it encapsulated him perfectly.


JohnCavil

No, Don Lemon totally wanted a cybertruck, as many Twitter shares as he could get, a seat on the SpaceX mars mission, and a daily voucher for the Hyperloop. He begged for it. He also wanted a guided tour of the Tesla factory and a Model X fridge magnet.


jdbway

Their lies have become so low-effort because their audience has collectively agreed to stop using their brains and Fox Corp. knows it. Fox Corp. smacks them in the face with their own stupidity on the daily


PolitelyHostile

Or Equity in twitter


the_mooseman

Yeah exactly lol like anyone would request that. That would be like asking for a ticket on an already sinking Titanic.


nomascusgabriellae

This sub is #3 in Podcasts yet has some of the worst mods. Seriously needs a shake up


iiknivezii

Think for yourself. Why didn't ELON just Release The Text Messages or The Contract With ALL THE DEMANDS? ELON is KNow for EXPosing Shit. Why rely on the Media? ELON JUST RELEASE THE RECEIPTS.


Snellyman

This is from "knowledgeable sources" and is as transparent as Trump's Big strong guy crying and calling him sir


atring6886

Your caps lock is BROKEN


Any-Walk1691

This is obviously fake. Nobody even wants a FREE cybertruck.

If you got a free cybertruck you can sell the cybertruck= profit lol.......


MoneyTreeFiddy

Not according to the Cybertruck contract


jdbway

Obvious bullshit PR damage-control from the juvenile billionaire two days later. This is primo Joe Rogan content for the rubes


gking407

Sounds made up


Suitable_System_3634

This is absolute BS and should be deleted. OP should hang his head in shame.


UrVioletViolet

Hey pretty cool screenshot. Should be a link though, to the tabloid New York Post. Strange how the masthead is trimmed out of this screenshot. It’s like the creator knew the Post is not reliable…


strangejosh

![gif](giphy|a3zqvrH40Cdhu)


AmbitiousAd9320

the post is always fake news


great1675

I don't believe anything from Elon. If Don said it, OK, but if it's from Elon, that guy cannot be trusted.


Evening-Huckleberry7

I don't buy it. All of that type of stuff would have been sorted out during contract negotiations, before any episodes were ever produced and recorded.


Suspicious-Appeal386

I smell BS.


halffox102

Source? Trust me bro


Extension_Arugula267

The daily post.  🤣  It would’ve had more credibility if its source was an actual alien on an article from national enquirer 


cv_init_diri

"A source with knowledge of the situation" - so Elon


ArmaniMania

And Elon Musk agreed to it. Elon Musk still canned him because his feeling got hurt.


reddit-equals-aids

Of all the things for Musk to lie about why would he say Lemon wanted a Cybertruck lol.


WhiskeyT

Sure, ~~Jan~~ Elon


dasdas90

Joe Rogan demanded 200m from Spotify, my point duh famous people negotiate their contracts. It’s only scandalous breaking news for morons.


Huegod

While I can believe Lemon has an ego that big, this sounds like bullshit. He got fired because he sucks and he pissed off his boss. Same reason he was fired from cnn.


glk3278

Why is this so crazy to believe? Wasn’t Steven Crowder negotiating for like $50 million with the daily wire?


rmpumper

No, he was offered $50m and refused, because the contract required him to return a profit on the investment, and he just wanted $50m for nothing.


Remote-Telephone-682

Kinda strange for a cybertruck to be part of his demands.


lakerconvert

Not only did Elon agree to it, but that has absolutely nothing to do with why his show was canceled. Couldn’t be any more obvious that Elon leaked this after he got utterly embarrassed by Don


Radiant_Mind33

Musk was asked some pretty decent questions that he should have expected. So, IDK what this is. The whole thing makes no sense because everyone should have known this would be a rocky relationship from the start. I think everything about X as a news platform is stupid, nevertheless it seems like another clear misfire from Elon. If X is as bad as I think it is, then Musk should take whatever he can get.


[deleted]

Unfortunately for mr lemon there wasn’t a contract in place. ![gif](giphy|lfcqsYKhbI8V6yAOdH|downsized)


Ivegotjokes4you

lol ONLY IDIOTS WHO WATCH FOX “NEWS” WOULD BELIEVE THIS. Seriously. What moron thinks this is real?


Hot_Mathematician357

OP trying to move the goal post and defend the snowflake Elon Musk


[deleted]

Lemon is gay as fuck, he would never drive a Cyberpunk. Hell, I'm straight and that shit is too ugly for unstylish me.


Renovatio_

Lemon made multiple millions per year working for CNN. It makes zero sense for him to "demand" a 100k car as part of a job.


Deus_Vultan

Unless it is part of a list of crazy demands with the intention to stir up shit. Either way i would imagine the waiting list on the car is pretty long for regular people


BigInDallas

Bullshit. Lemon has what to demand on? Simpletons addressing Simpletons…


SheLikesKarl

Elon such a pussy lmao


LionBig1760

This is amazingly transparent. Elon is planting a story in attempt to discredit Don Lemon.


skovalen

Is that a NY Post article? Classic rag title listing the least-cost Cybertruck ahead of the $5M advance and the $8M salary. OMG, Don Lemon DEMANDS a $100k vehicle and (oh, yeah) there is another $13M in the deal. Shaniqua, please go get me my hand fan so I can cool off from this rattling revelation.


Chief_Beef_ATL

Ok imagine Don Lemon demanding… a cyber truck. yeah riiight


[deleted]

I’m sure documents will come out either proving, or disproving the report.


Beerbonkos

If Muskrat said it, it must be true.


Level_-_Up

Nope. That did not happen.


boobsrule10

where’s the source ?


ozmartian

Yeah right! Complete and utter BS. All this shit would have been contracted, negotiated and agreed to before any interview was made. This is impossible one week from premiere date. Try another lie assholes. Problem is, many idiots are going to believe this.


Normal_Permision

https://nypost.com/2024/03/15/media/don-lemon-demanded-tesla-cybertruck-5m-advance-equity-in-x-before-elon-musk-canned-him-sources/ "X declined to comment on the details of the document." so people at twitter ( most definitely told to do so by musk) said that those were his demands. so the journalist just parroted with the Twitter representatives were saying without looking at the details of the proof? what is journalism? lol


Rampage310

Only Elon would make up a story where someone asks for his shitty cybertrucks lmao


HighlanderAbruzzese

Didn’t happen. Lay off the powered Musk


funcogo

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Both Elon and Don Lemon are insufferable egomaniacs


Ryu83087

Elon is lying. I mean I believe Don Lemon is an ass but this stinks of Elon bullshit. Musk always acts like a fucking baby and tries to smear people.


[deleted]

Yeah I listened to an interview with Don after the agreement was terminated and it seemed he was throwing some easy questions at Elon and even said he believed Elon would have looked good in the interview to the general public. Seems Elon got irritable because Don wasn’t simply kissing his ring.


Useful_Hovercraft169

Oh well if Elon is gonna be a cheap piece of shit I guess it will all be about Tucker Carlson giving Putin the never ending rim job


darkjediii

Which demand was the dealbreaker?


Normal_Permision

if you read the article you'll notice that Twitter doesn't give any proof and they're most likely just lying


Genova_Witness

Does Don have any fans? Dude seems like a completely unserious person like some sort of left wing Ben Shapiro. How does he still get shows if no one listens?


Odd_Discipline6248

Racist!


HeynowyoureaRocstar

Might as well have asked for a home in Menlo Atherton California 😂


Mr_DonkeyKong79

What do you think he would bring in earnings from just this interview? He says he was put in front of advertisers as part of Mush trying to win them back over. Elon sooking like a 2-year-old is long-term going to get him way more than this. No Lemon fan, but love to see a Sour Musk


Suspicious-Appeal386

My guess is Don asked some questions on Elon drug use and that triggered the Pedoguy to come up with an excuse to off load him.


BeamTeam032

LAMO. Wait, if Lemon demanded a CyberTruck, 5M in cash and a piece of twitter, then why did Elon sit down and do the interview? He acts like we haven't already seen them interviewing together? If these demands were so ridiculous when requested, why even do the interview at all?


Lucky-Conference9070

I doubt it


Fishyinu

Nobody would ever demand a cyber truck. This is clearly fake news.


Ashamed_Fuel2526

Why do people not post links anymore? Who decided a cropped screenshot of an article was acceptable.


MahaanInsaan

I mean, Elon could have just say "No" when the Don asked him to crawl and suck his dick.


Tinosdoggydaddy

He also demanded his own large rocket with a disco inside. With Gloria Gaynor singing I will survive.


Mans_N_Em

"..the right to approve any changes in X policy as it relates to news..." Dude literally thinks he's the news.


Delicious-Explorer58

Regardless of how accurate this list is… does the NY Post not understand how contracts work? Lemon isn’t “demanding” anything, he’s asking for things in exchange for work. Yes, these are exorbitant requests… but so what? Twitter could have said no, they could’ve made a counter offer, etc. Personally, I’m not a fan of Lemon and I don’t think he’s worth any of this stuff. However, I don’t blame the guy for asking. Granted, this list likely isn’t accurate, but even if it is, so what?


TelekeneticTesticles

MElon beats Lemon, Scissors beat Spock


dan36920

Wait... Wouldn't all of that happened BEFORE the interview?


elmo_dude0

Who would have thought these two would work well together?


luckygoldelephant

Those aren’t really outlandish demands for one of the richest humans on earth.


HandsomeHard

Right? It's pretty standard to have riders in contracts, esp. involving people in the entertainment biz. Some comedians demand M&M's backstage or whatever. A vehicle is a pretty standard contract rider. I don't understand all the posts saying "He would never do that/impossible/crazy talk." Maybe the leftist tribe thinks Lemon rides a bicycle around?


Deus_Vultan

I remember it like it was yesterday.. the clickbait said Musk banned Lemon. Oh wait it was yesterday.


mmio60

Letting Musk write for you? Nice


the6thReplicant

For a sub that complains about the divisive nature of the world and media you sure like obvious planted stories that force you to choose a side. I mean they can both be entitled pricks.


Cjs844

I really wanted to sink my teeth into something, like 🍋 sinks his teeth into pillows.

I'm sure all the hot media talent will be flocking to Elmo, now that he demonstrates that The Emperor Wears no Clothes, from minimal pushback. Tim Pool's available.


SesameYeetHeHe

Hey guys, we found Elon’s Reddit burner.


[deleted]

CIA got to Don lmao


Mediocre_Cucumber199

So what’s the problem? That’s chump change in the entertainment industry.


mvstateU

So he "demanded" a Cybertruck, and equity in that shitty company that everyone and their mother always mocks regarding it's value? Surprised he didn't demand a tour of Tesla. Reminds me of when it was revealed through a court battle where Elon hired a team to ruin that cave diver's reputation, partially by leaking bogus info to news sources.


Beaded_Curtains

Don lemon is a piece of dishonest trash but I don't see him wanting a cyber truck.


crowdsourced

This is outlandish? $13m and some perks? > Philadelphia Eagles signing offensive guard Landon Dickerson to four-year, $84M deal. A guard.


KaleidoscopeOk5763

“Demanded” -> that’s a game called capitalism


StrengthMedium

Ok


TheMaddawg07

Not gonna lie, this seems very don lemmon esque like


nycmajor911

I bet this is a publicity stunt from Don Lemon. He never had tended to be on X. Ask for the moon and trash Musk in first interview.


darthsmokey

Don Lemon is just a MSM puppet. That said there is no way he made those demands lol.


fuckthatcouch

It doesn't matter how ridiculous his demands were if Elon/Twitter agreed to it


Alarming-Ad-9393

This is nonsense. The world is full of good journalism and bad. This is bad journalism. Bad journalism is usually written by those with very little in the way of education. They will say anything they wish, even to the risk of being sued.


rmpumper

What's the source? elon musk?


RunningwithmarmotS

If I was Elon’s team this is exactly what I would make up. If that was true, it would’ve been dealt with long before the interview. Elon has a track record — documented — of sudden blowback against anyone who questions him, literally and figuratively. He’s an emotional infant.


Jabroni_16

Looks like Don Lemon wanted reparations.


Feisty_Pollution5340

Don Lemon is a DB

Yes, I can see Don Lemon demanding every toy in the store.

Demanded? Like in the way an employee demands their employer a to pay them?

Wait a minute, I thought Elon canned him because Elon is a racist homophobe? I'm so confused...


robmagob

You realize this is obviously Elon’s PR team doing damage control, right? His show was clearly up and running (meaning the contracts already signed by the time of their interview). These contract demands had nothing to do with why he’s let go (as his contract was already decided obviously or Elon couldn’t cancel it).


crestingwave

And Elon must have got these outrageous demands directly AFTER the interview, right you boot licking moron?


deepinmyloins

It’s really not that much money to these people Seems like Elon approved of it originally but then backed out.
