Musk threatens to sue media after 'misleading attack'
Elon Musk threatens to take the media to court after the revelation that ads from tech giants were placed next to anti-Semitic and Nazi posts on X. "The second the courts open on Monday, X Corp will file a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and all those involved in it here the misleading attack on our company", writes the X owner on the platform.
It was on Thursday that the research group Media Matters published the revelation that led to harsh criticism of X. At the same time, Elon Musk himself ended up in a storm after writing a supportive comment to an anti-Semitic post, writes Reuters.
Musk's comment was condemned by the White House and, together with the review, led to companies such as Disney, IBM and Oracle pausing their advertising on X, writes TT.
In a statement on Saturday, X accused "activist groups like Media Matters" of "undermining free speech" on the platform and seeking to "manipulate the public and advertisers".

The answer: Musk is a bully – we will win
Elon Musk is a "bully" who threatens with a baseless lawsuit. This is stated by Media Matters in a statement after the threat to take the research group to court, writes Reuters.
- Musk admitted that the ads in question were next to the pro-Nazi content we identified, says Media Matters head Angelo Carusone in the statement.
He adds that the organization will win if Musk sues them.
The background is Media Matters' review, which showed that several tech giants' ads were shown in connection with anti-Semitic comments.
