Elon Musk’s social media company, X, plans to sue Media Matters for allegedly misrepresenting the user experience on the platform, leading to a new wave of advertiser boycotts.
Musk criticized major corporations for joining the boycott, promoting X’s new premium subscription service as an alternative.
The controversy stemmed from Musk’s agreement with a post critical of Jewish organizations, leading to outrage and a subsequent clarification of his criticism.

“This week Media Matters for America posted a story that completely misrepresented the real user experience on X, in another attempt to undermine freedom of speech and mislead advertisers,” stated X/Twitter.
“The split second court opens on Monday, X Corp will be filing a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and ALL those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company,” Musk said.
“Premium+ also has no ads in your timeline,” added Musk.
“Many of the largest advertisers are the greatest oppressors of your right to free speech.”
The situation has sparked debate and raised concerns about free speech and the portrayal of minority viewpoints on the platform.
