A federal judge in Texas has ruled against Media Matters' request to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter. The lawsuit, which accuses Media Matters of publishing a "deceptive" report that caused financial harm to X, will proceed to trial on April 7th. The report highlighted that hateful content on X appeared next to ads from major companies, leading them to pause their advertising on the platform. Media Matters has criticized the lawsuit as an attempt to silence critics. O’Connor found that X’s claims were sufficiently pled to move forward.
