Elon Musk's X Defamation Lawsuit Against Media Matters Set for April 2025 Trial

The case centers on allegations that Media Matters misrepresented the prevalence of extremist content on the platform.

A U.S. District judge has scheduled the trial for April 7, 2025.
X, owned by Elon Musk, claims Media Matters' report defamed the platform by associating ads with pro-Nazi content.
Media Matters stands by its research, calling the lawsuit an attempt to silence critics.
Motions for summary judgment are due in December, potentially resolving the case before trial.
Past similar lawsuits by Musk have faced judicial setbacks.
