Judge dismisses ‘vapid’ Musk lawsuit against group that cataloged racist content on X

Center for Countering Digital Hate has chronicled rise of racist, antisemitic and extremist on X since Musk’s acquisition

A judge in California on Monday dismissed tech billionaire Elon Musk’s lawsuit against the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a non-profit that has published reports chronicling the rise of racist, antisemitic and extremist content on X, formerly Twitter, since Musk’s acquisition.

The case was dismissed in accordance with the state’s anti-Slapp law, which forbids nuisance lawsuits intended to punish the exercise of free speech.
