New York CNN — Elon Musk-owned X has agreed to pay to settle a lawsuit from his close ally President Donald Trump over Trump’s deplatforming following the January 6, 2021, insurrection, according to multiple reports that cite people familiar with the matter.
After the January 6 riot, social media companies such as X, then known as Twitter, and Meta suspended Trump from their platforms at the end of his first term.
“After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” Twitter said on January 8, 2021.
The Wall Street Journal and New York Times reported details of the settlement. Court filings from this week show that both parties filed a motion to dismiss the appeal and pay their own costs. The dismissal was granted Monday. CNN has reached out to lawyers for both parties and X for comment.
Trump first sued Twitter and Jack Dorsey, the company’s CEO at the time, in July 2021, arguing that his speech was being unfairly censored.

WOW!
Interesting that that is their title when as they go on to note, it wasn’t owned by Musk at the time but their title they must figure is good clickbait and another possible way to try to drive a wedge between the president and Elon. Pathetic.
See! Musk is doing D.O.G.E. because Trump was about to win $400Billion from him. Now it all makes sense.
Interesting - I suppose it was necessary to close it out. Wonder what the settlement is; could be $1 could be a pile of X stock.

Musk probably has to order-in Mickey-D’s for a month. I hope they eat it together with their feet up on the Roosevelt grinning like kids in detention!
Musk is BOUGHT AND PAID FOR!!!
Says Schmuckie...
Tres tres awkward.
Musk bought Twitter. That’s buying everything, including dealing with lawsuits the former owner caused.
Propaganda is a hell of a drug!
No one ever said the Musk guy was stupid, in fact I just asked him for a job

SOME OF YOUR INFO IS LACKING.
I CANNOT WAIT FOR SCHUMER TO FALL DOWN ON HIS OWN “EARNINGS”
I think it says that each side will pay its own legal costs and the case is moot. The remedy as EM buying X.
