A lawsuit brought by Elon Musk’s X against the nonprofit watchdog group Media Matters has been scheduled for a trial in April 2025, according to a court filing.

Thursday’s order by the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas sets the date for a high-profile showdown over Media Matters’ research highlighting antisemitic and pro-Nazi content on the social media platform.

In November, X sued Media Matters, alleging that the group went out of its way to misrepresent the likelihood that users may encounter hate speech on the platform.

CNN has reached out to X for comment on Thursday’s order. Media Matters declined to comment.

X is facing, yet again, another threat of being banned in Indonesia, but now, it is not because of a misunderstanding and is pointing out its recent policy change, which straight-up allowed porn content on social media. The threat talked about a possible ban for Elon Musk’s X as it violates the country’s laws that prohibit pornography content distribution.

Previously, Musk’s Twitter name change to X also triggered a possible ban for the platform, but after verifying that it was social media, it was pulled back.

Elon Musk on Tuesday withdrew his lawsuit against OpenAI and two of the company’s co-founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, in California state court. Musk’s decision to file to dismiss the suit came just one day after he publicly criticized OpenAI and its new partnership with Apple.

The case was dismissed without prejudice, according to a court filing obtained by CNBC.

In February, Musk had filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, Altman and Brockman — the current CEO and president of OpenAI, respectively — for breach of contract and fiduciary duty.

A hearing was scheduled for Wednesday in San Francisco, in which the judge was going to consider whether the case should be dismissed as requested by the defendants.

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, recently made an exciting announcement about the platform X (formerly known as Twitter). Subscribers now have the option to upload podcasts, TV shows, or movies and monetize their content.

In a response to his sister Tosca Musk, co-founder of the streaming service Passionflix, Elon highlighted that users can now upload their full-length films to X. He encouraged creators to share their TV shows, movies, or podcasts on the platform and start earning from subscriptions.This move, announced by Musk himself, aims to transform X into a multi-faceted content platform, rivaling established streaming giants like Netflix.

Tosca expressed her joy at the prospect of people watching her movies on X. Additionally, a user suggested that X should allow films to be posted with a one-time fee, giving viewers the option to buy the movie without a subscription. This proposal was seen as a potential transformation for X into a true movie platform. Some users also suggested necessary improvements for streaming on the platform.

Top Twitch streamers Ludwig and CohhCarnage are among the ones calling Elon Musk a hypocrite over viral sexual content meme.

It seems that every time Elon Musk talks about video games his audience is left rather unimpressed, like when he claimed he was one of the best Quake players in the world, while others said he wasn’t very good, or when he got into it with an Elden Ring streamer who beat the game using Morse code.

Earlier this year Musk also revealed that he wanted to make Twitter a force in the livestreaming industry, by exploring ways to monetise the platform for content creators, having livestreamed himself playing Diablo 4 numerous times on Twitter before.

Over a month into Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s plans to slash at least 10% of the company’s workforce, he’s still not done. This means anxious employees wake up each day to check their messages, wondering if they still have a job. The rolling job cuts are likely to extend through at least June, according to people familiar with the matter, who weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the layoffs.

“It’s difficult to imagine the feeling of walking on eggshells every day at work, uncertain whether or not you’ll be able to pay your bills or feed your family,” Michael Minick, a former Tesla sales representative who was laid off in April, wrote on LinkedIn. “It would be a relief to know that they can breathe and focus on their work, without the gray cloud of uncertainty looming over.”

While the internet is an invaluable resource for education and global interaction, it can also be dangerous, particularly for young people who are still figuring things out. And, considering that the majority of kids have access to a smartphone, keeping them secure is a pressing concern. These sites put users in danger of seeing inappropriate or unpleasant content, such as violent, abusive or sexual comments. Amidst all of this, Elon Musk’s assertion that X has stronger safety measures in place to “fight child exploitation” in a post that went viral has generated a lot of discussion.

In his tweet, the tech mogul criticised Meta Platform Instagram for their regulations regarding the protection of minors on the internet. Social media users have slammed Musk’s X platform for containing pornographic content that is inappropriate for younger people.

Elon Musk’s social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has begun restricting accounts for using the terms “cis” and “cisgender,” labeling them as slurs. According to the Independent, users attempting to post these terms now receive warnings stating that they may be considered slurs and could be used in violation of X’s rules.

“Cisgender” is an adjective used to refer to individuals whose gender identity corresponds with their sex assigned at birth. The term “cis” comes from the Latin prefix meaning “on this side of,” contrasting with “trans,” which means “across from” or “on the other side of.” These terms are widely accepted in social and medical contexts. The Canadian government uses these classifications in its census, and the American Psychological Association includes them in its glossary.

Despite the widespread acceptance of these terms, Musk declared last October that they would be treated as slurs on the platform. Enforcement of this policy began recently, with users reporting restricted visibility and warnings when attempting to post using the terms. According to TechCrunch, users who write “cis” or “cisgender” on the X mobile app receive a full-screen message stating, “This post contains language that may be considered a slur by X and could be used in a harmful manner in violation of our rules.” Users can choose to continue publishing the post or delete it.

Indonesian president Joko Widodo’s years-long wooing on Elon Musk may have finally paid off. The Southeast Asian leader, commonly known as Jokowi, openly courted the Tesla CEO for investment in the country’s fledgling EV sector, even making a personal visit to see the billionaire in Texas in 2022.

Musk has now made his first visit to Indonesia after Jokowi’s charm offensive. The billionaire traveled to the resort island of Bali over the weekend—not for Tesla, but for one of his other companies: SpaceX. On Sunday, Musk inaugurated SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service in Indonesia, saying he was “excited to bring connectivity to places that have low connectivity.”

Starlink received a license to operate in Indonesia earlier this month. It’s the third Southeast Asian country to approve the satellite internet service, following the Philippines in 2022 and Malaysia last year.

Neuralink announced last week that the tiny wires inside the brain of its first patient had retracted, but sources say they had known about this issue for years.

According to Reuters, the Elon Musk-founded company knew from animal testing that the wires could pull out of position, removing with them the sensitive electrodes that decode brain signals. Sources told Reuters the risk was deemed low enough for a redesign not to be merited.

Neuralink is an American neurotechnology company currently testing its brain implant in a person with quadriplegia with the hope they’ll be able to use digital devices by thinking alone.

On May 8, an update was provided as Noland Arbaugh, the study participant, had reached over 100 days since he received the Neuralink implant.
