Elon Musk’s social media company, X, sued Media Matters for America and one of its staff members Monday over an investigative report the progressive watchdog organization published saying Nazi content ran on the X app alongside advertisements from major corporations.
Media Matters President Angelo Carusone said the website would defend itself.
Media Matters, a nonprofit website, was founded in 2004 by David Brock, a former conservative journalist who became a Democrat and Clinton ally.
The lawsuit makes a few specific legal claims. One is that Media Matters “intentionally interfered with contracts” between X and its advertisers. A second is that the website disparaged X with false statements and that it did so “with clear malice, well aware of their falsity.” And the third is that it unlawfully interfered with business relationships.
