Free Speech

Elon Musk

Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, recently went all guns ablaze in its lawsuit filed against Media Matters for America, a non-profit media group, following a series of attacks on the social media platform. Subsequently, Elon Musk recently issued a statement on X claiming that the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), Texas, <a href="https://coingape.com/elon-musk-x-advances-with-thermonuclear-lawsuit-with-support-from-linda-yaccarino/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">agreed</a> to open an investigation into the conflict.
Following recent developments made on the matter, the X Corp. notified users on its platform that the Texas judge has recently withdrawn himself from the ongoing lawsuit, reassigning it to a judge with a record of conservative-leaning judgments.

According to the statement released on X, the lawsuit has been reassigned to Judge Reed O’Connor, the United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Meanwhile, the current Judge for the lawsuit was Mark T. Pittman.
As per Mark’s statement, the Judge recently announced his rescue from the X Corp. vs Media Matters case and requested the case to be allotted to another Judge as per the usual procedure.
The aforementioned reassignment of the X Corp. lawsuit has stirred up quite the speculation among users within the industry as the new judge’s image among government officials appears to be gloomy, ruling out conservative-leaning judgments.

The tussle between Media Matters and X started earlier this month when Elon Musk announced a <a href="https://coingape.com/elon-musk-x-plans-thermonuclear-lawsuit-to-defend-freedom-of-speech/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">thermonuclear lawsuit</a> against the media group. The lawsuit came forth as a result of a series of attacks on X, following which significant tech giants stopped all advertising-related services on the platform.
The attacks claimed that the social media platform runs advertisements next to antisemitic content, resulting in firms such as IBM and Apple, among many others, concluding the suspension of such activities on the platform.
Furthermore, as claimed by the X Corp, the lawsuit primarily aimed to protect the freedom of speech on the platform, exterminating any false information spread by media groups.
