Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} A judge ruled Elon Musk’s lawsuit over “hateful content” on X/Twitter, which resulted in big brands pulling their adverts from the social media platform, can proceed to trial. Musk’s X is suing the non-profit media watchdog Media Matters, accusing them of kicking off an advertising exodus after it published a “harmful” article alleging the platform allowed top brands display adverts beside antisemitic and pro-Nazi content. Musk called the organisation ‘pure evil’ when the suit was first filed in November 2023 The lawsuit does not dispute that some top brands’ ads were featured near the inflammatory content, but argues Media Matters gamed X to produce extremely unlikely pairings that are usually screened out by the service’s advertising tools, alleging that one harmful match appeared for “only one viewer on all of X: Media Matters.” Media Matters told The Independent in a statement at the time its analysis of X and its content policies remains valid. “Media Matters stands behind its reporting and looks forward to winning in court.” Media Matters previously requested the judge forced Musk to list Tesla as an interested party in X’s lawsuit, but it was dismissed by O’Connor said “there is no evidence that shows Tesla has a direct financial interest in the outcome” of the case, according to court filings.
