A federal judge in Texas ruled that the lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's X against liberal group Media Matters over alleged platform manipulation to deter advertisers can proceed.
A federal judge in Texas on Thursday allowed a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's X against the liberal group Media Matters to proceed to trial after denying the group's dismissal request. Musk's X filed the suit against Media Matters in November after the group published a report that showed pro-Nazi posts and antisemitic or otherwise hateful content on the platform appearing next to advertisements from major U.S. corporations.
The judge's ruling noted that the two Media Matters employees who are defendants in the suit didn't deny that they were aware of the alleged manipulation and were undertaking activities aimed at driving away advertisers from X. The two employees had argued the report was not connected to Texas despite the inclusion of AT&T and Oracle in articles on the subject. Media Matters has defended its reporting and previously said that the lawsuit was frivolous.
