June 13 — Social media platform X’s lawsuit against media watchdog group Media Matters will head to trial on April 7, 2025, a US District judge ordered today.
X, which is owned by billionaire Elon Musk, sued Media Matters in November, accusing the group of defamation after it published a report that said ads had appeared next to posts on X praising Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.
“Media Matters stands behind its reporting and looks forward to winning in court,” Media Matters President Angelo Carusone said at the time. — Reuters
