As more advertisers say they're pausing ad buys on the platform, Musk has only escalated his rhetoric, posting about "a large graveyard filled with my enemies."
On Monday, two more advertisers — Fox Sports and Ubisoft — said they were pausing ad campaigns and spending on the platform in response to questions from NBC News about their ads’ running next to antisemitic content and on pages belonging to antisemitic influencers.
…
On Sunday, NBC News found that hashtags associated with antisemitic conspiracy theories were still viewable and had ads running on them. NBC News viewed ads for Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed running on numerous antisemitic accounts, including one called “Jewish Watchdog,” which posted antisemitic memes.
Precisely what Musk is purportedly suing Media Matters for. They’re challenging him to pick on one of the big boys.
And they deserve some praise for that. Good on them.
Media matters must be fucking giddy. Can you imagine just taking this NBC report to the Twitter lawyers and asking them how they plan to counter it in court?
Precisely what Musk is purportedly suing Media Matters for.
Kind of, media matters reported on twitter showing ads next to extremist and offensive content, to which the big moron cried was not realistic case and that ads weren’t normally shown next to content like that.
“Media Matters knowingly and maliciously manufactured side-by-side images depicting advertisers’ posts on X Corp.’s social media platform beside Neo-Nazi and white-nationalist fringe content and then portrayed these manufactured images as if they were what typical X users experience on the platform,” the complaint filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas said. “Media Matters designed both these images and its resulting media strategy to drive advertisers from the platform and destroy X Corp.”
With that clarification aside, this is huge for MM, big media reproducing their claims so what, is phony stark gonna add NBC to the suit?

NBC is laying down the gauntlet with this:
