Elon Musk sues Fact Checkers for fraudulently manipulating Social “X”
On Monday, the owner of the X filed a “thermonuclear” lawsuit Media Matters. a “fact checker” leaning towards the left, accused of having produced falsified documentation. Elon Musk accuses the group of “maliciously” and misleadingly depicting ads from large companies appearing on the platform alongside pro-Nazi and white supremacist posts “as if this is what typical X-rated users experience on the platform.”
For now, Media Matters has not deleted its posts, indeed the site is literally full of accusations of anti-Semitism against Elon Musk, almost as if it were a sort of leitmotif of the site, but it is clear that, once the case reaches court , the site will have to completely change its registry.
According to the indictment, Media Matters created its article of accusation by intentionally bypassing X's protections against such posts by creating accounts that "exclusively followed" accounts owned by big-name advertisers plus "a small subset of users" who they are “known for producing extreme and fringe content.” Practically the article would be the result of manipulation.
He then “resorted to scrolling and refreshing endlessly” until he got the results he wanted: “controversial content alongside X's biggest advertisers,” which he screenshotted and used in his “reports” on X.
The fact-checking group did not reveal how it obtained the screenshots that were the subject of the allegations.
In reality, the great, enormous fault of which Elon Musk is accused is another: that of having revealed, with the "Twitter files", the maneuvers with which the power aligned with the left and with the famous "Fact checkers" and now they try, in any way, to make him pay, they damage X even among large advertising users. Meanwhile, Musk says that the number of monthly users of the social media has reached a new high.
