"Elon Musk's X Loses Legal Challenge Against California Content Moderation Disclosure Law"

A federal judge has ruled against Elon Musk's attempt to avoid complying with a California content moderation law, which mandates social media companies to disclose their content moderation practices.

Musk has faced criticism for his handling of content moderation on Twitter, particularly after reinstating controversial figures like Alex Jones.
