A federal judge in Texas has ruled against Media Matters and its request to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's X, allowing the case to proceed to trial.
Attorneys for X claimed the Media Matters report about hateful content next to ads was 'intentionally deceptive' and financially harmed the company, prompting the lawsuit.
Media Matters President Angelo Carusone asserted that the lawsuit was 'frivolous' and intended to intimidate critics of X into silence, highlighting tensions in media relations.
Judge Reed O'Connor dismissed Media Matters' attempt to connect Tesla to X's lawsuit, stating there was 'no evidence' of Tesla's direct financial interest in the case.
