Media Matters, the Soros-financed smear outfit that thrives on intimidating journalists into spouting its far-left agenda, has picked the wrong target.

According to Reuters:

X Corp, formerly known as Twitter, will file a lawsuit against Media Matters and those who attacked social media platform X, Elon Musk said on Saturday in a post on the platform, soon after major U.S. companies paused their advertisements on the site.

"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 wrote in a post on X, without naming any other parties.

Liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America earlier this week said it found that corporate advertisements by IBM, Apple, Oracle and Comcast's Xfinity were being placed alongside antisemitic content.

IBM on Thursday said it immediately suspended all advertising on Musk-owned X after the watchdog found its ads were placed next to content promoting Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.

Disney, Warner Bros Discovery and Comcast, Lions Gate Entertainment and Paramount Global said on Friday they were also pausing their ads on X. Axios reported that Apple would do the same.

Thermonuclear. Good one, Elon. It's time to hold these stinking little weasels accountable.

The leftist nuisance outfit, which until recently was run by David Brock, has taken its marching orders from the Obama White House in the past, and now relying on an old tried-and-true tactic it uses, by organizing an advertiser boycott in an attempted to defund 'X.'

So, they manipulated search results until they got the one Nazi ad they wanted and waited for an IBM ad to position itself next to it, which according to 'X' happened one time and was seen by one person

A fake outrage from the democrat party who are having their fellow travelers attack Elon Musk or anyone else like the My Pillow Guy.

First Amendment champion offended by free speech.

What a pathetic whiner.

“The big thing that musk can do is tie up the company and its sponsors in court. the company may be able to take the court expenses. but the individuals will have a hard time doing so. no need to win. just make things incredibly expensive for everyone involved with media matters.

musk can play that game.”

So a nuisance lawsuit? Yeah, not much punch to that. And which company or company do you propose he sue?

“He sounds like the drama queen Hoft brothers.”

The dude is a blowhard with the biggest megaphone in town.

I don’t use Twitter or X, but thanks to Musk’s big mouth I made over $20,000 on his idiotic takeover misadventure. When the stupidity of his TWTR bid set in, he tried reneging through the courts.

A hedge fund named Muddy Waters, most known for shorting stocks rather than buying them, took a look at the contract and decided that Musk’s grounds for withdrawing the offer were bogus, and subsequently went LONG the stock in the mid-$30s.I piggybacked and got a nice $54.20 payday when he was forced to pay up.

You have to admit, if you read the article, that what Media Matters did to smear “X” was truly despicable. They are trying to destroy the company now that it is less likely to censor conservatives.

Media Matters is, IMHO, a sub rosa arm of the Democrat Party - just as the “MSM” is. And like all (essentially) “fact checkers” are.

Musk thinks he can prove that MM is guilty of "torturous interference,” I believe the legal term is, with the ability of “X” to conduct legitmate business. His claim, I believe, is that what MM styles “research” is nothing but a system for making false (or at least, grossly unrepresentative) claims against “X” in an effort to damage the ability of “X” to continue to earn advertising revenue.
