Elon Musk’s social-media company X sued Media Matters for America after the left-leaning media watchdog group reported ads appeared near antisemitic and pro-Nazi content on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

X alleged in its lawsuit filed in federal court Monday that Media Matters was trying to drive away its advertisers. Media Matters in a report last week said X placed ads for certain companies next to posts supporting Nazis and white nationalism.
