After a devastating advertiser exodus last week involving some of the world’s largest media companies, X owner Elon Musk is suing the progressive watchdog group Media Matters over its analysis highlighting antisemitic and pro-Nazi content on X — a report that appeared to play a significant role in the massive and highly damaging brand revolt.

Elon Musk’s social media company X filed a lawsuit against Media Matters for America on Monday, saying it manufactured a report to show advertisers’ posts alongside neo-Nazi and white nationalist posts in order to drive advertisers from the platform and destroy X Corp.

In response, Media Matters claims that the lawsuit is frivolous and aimed at silencing critics of X.

Ironically, a news report this morning revealed that Media Matters is a censorship organization funded by George Soros and others who oppose Western civilization. The organization is said to be designed to suppress certain views.

While these big companies are stuck in profit-driven conflicts, the commitment to protecting freedom of speech and privacy seems to have been completely forgotten. Now, the truth is treated as the new hate speech.

    ‘The result generated by the test would almost never happen in the real world, Musk’s complaint alleged’

    Think this kills the case quick. So he is saying it does happen, and doesn’t seem like the media matters report mentions frequency.

    The discovery in this case will be interesting, if they even get there. Media matters could end up with even more dirt on twitter.
