Elon Musk's X Takes Legal Action Against Media Critics and Advertisers

Elon Musk's social media platform X has filed a lawsuit against left-leaning pressure group Media Matters for America, accusing them of manipulating data to falsely claim that X allowed antisemitic posts alongside advertising. The lawsuit alleges that Media Matters intentionally created images to drive advertisers away from X and destroy the platform. Several companies, including Apple, Disney, IBM, and Comcast, paused their ads on X following Media Matters' analysis. In response, Musk threatened a "thermonuclear" lawsuit against Media Matters and anyone involved in the attack. Media Matters has called Musk a bully and stated that they will win any legal action. Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton has also opened an investigation into Media Matters for potential fraudulent activity.
