Elon Musk's company, X, formerly known as Twitter, has settled a lawsuit with Donald Trump for $10 million, stemming from Twitter's ban following the January 6 Capitol riots. This settlement comes despite Trump’s close relationship with Musk, including Musk’s reinstatement of Trump’s Twitter account and his financial support for Trump’s presidential campaign. However, Trump proceeded with the lawsuit's settlement, which follows a similar $25 million settlement agreement that Meta reached earlier this year. Their partnership appears to solidify with recent public appearances together.
Elon Musk's X has agreed to pay President Donald Trump $10 million to settle a lawsuit from the days when the company was still called Twitter.
The lawsuit took issue with Twitter's decision to ban Trump after January 6, when Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
Despite the relationship with Musk, Trump moved forward with the settlement as Meta previously agreed to pay $25 million to settle a similar lawsuit.
Musk and Trump held a joint press briefing from the Oval Office, highlighting the evolving relationship between the two after Trump’s account was reinstated.
