Musk’s X Agrees to Pay About $10 Million to Settle Trump Lawsuit

Elon Musk’s X has agreed to pay about $10 million to settle a lawsuit that President Donald Trump brought against the company and its former chief executive. The agreement makes X the second social-media platform to settle litigation that Trump filed when the companies deplatformed him over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Trump, along with other plaintiffs, filed the lawsuit in 2021 against the company, then called Twitter, and its CEO at the time, Jack Dorsey. Musk reinstated Trump on the platform in November 2022.
