Elon Musk’s X Sues Media Matters Over Antisemitism Report

Elon Musk’s social-media company X sued Media Matters for America after the left-leaning media watchdog group reported ads appeared near antisemitic and pro-Nazi content on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

X alleged in its lawsuit filed in federal court Monday that Media Matters was trying to drive away its advertisers. Media Matters in a report last week said X placed ads for certain companies next to posts supporting Nazis and white nationalism.

In the wake of the lawsuit, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said his office would open an investigation into Media Matters for “potential fraudulent activity.”
