NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: X, formerly known as Twitter, recently made a statement on their official blog about a media watchdog group, Media Matters for America, about a story posted that “completely misrepresented” the real user experience on the social media platform. The blog called this story another attempt to “undermine freedom of speech” and mislead advertisers.

In addition to this, Elon Musk, the owner of X Corp announced on the platform that when the court opens on Monday, X Corp will be filing a “thermonuclear” lawsuit against Media Matters for the “fraudulent attack.”

Former Fox News anchor and podcast host Megyn Kelly also took to X to speak on the matter as she backed Musk and X in her statement.
