Elon Musk's Media Controversies: Threats, Antisemitism, and Lawsuits

Elon Musk, CEO of X (formerly Twitter), threatened to file a "thermonuclear lawsuit" against media watchdog group Media Matters and those involved in what he called a "fraudulent attack" on his company. This comes after major advertisers, including Apple and Disney, paused their spending on X due to ads running alongside pro-Nazi content. Musk criticized large advertisers as "oppressors" of free speech and promoted a paid, ad-free subscription version of X. Media Matters accused Musk of promoting hate speech and confirmed that the ads in question ran alongside pro-Nazi content.
