Tech billionaire Elon Musk is threatening to file a "thermonuclear" legal action against Media Matters for America, claiming the organization "completely misrepresented the real user experience on X" in an attempt to harm the social media platform. The issue stems from multinational corporation IBM's decision to pull ads from the platform after Media Matters for America claimed ads from the tech giant and pro-Nazi X posts had shown up adjacent to each other. "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 on Twitter Saturday. "Ads follow the people on X, in this case the Media Matters research that was going to actively look for this content – that’s how user targeting works," the X executive said. "This week, Media Matters for America posted a story that completely misrepresented the real user experience on X, in another attempt to undermine freedom of speech and mislead advertisers."
