Elon Musk lashed out at large advertisers and Media Matters, a media watchdog group, on Friday after several major brands decided to pause spending on X, the social media platform he owns and runs as CTO.
Discovery , then decided to halt their ad spending, at least temporarily, on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
In late October, an X user complained that a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee was melted down in Charlottesville, Virgina.
Last week, Musk agreed with a post falsely claiming that the Jewish people have been pushing "dialectical hatred" against white people.
It is not clear whether or when X Corp. will actually file a suit against Media Matters, or in which jurisdiction.
