Elon Musk to File ‘Thermonuclear Lawsuit’ against Media Matters as Top Advertisers Leave X

Elon Musk announced X will file a “thermonuclear lawsuit” on Monday against Media Matters for America after one of its reports prompted multiple corporations to pull their advertising from the billionaire’s rebranded social-media platform.

Musk, who owns X, took issue with the liberal media watchdog’s story that claimed ads from top corporate brands were running “alongside white nationalist and pro-Nazi content.” An official statement from X stated Media Matters “completely misrepresented the real user experience on X,” leading to IBM, Apple, Disney, Lionsgate Entertainment, and others boycotting the platform.

“The split second court opens on Monday, X Corp will be filing a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and ALL those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company,” Musk posted early Saturday morning on X.
