Elon Musk's X will pay Donald Trump $10 million to settle a lawsuit over his ban after the January 6 Capitol incident. Initially filed against X's former CEO Jack Dorsey, Trump's legal team had considered dropping the case when Musk reinstated Trump's account. However, they decided to proceed, marking the second large settlement for Trump related to social media bans post-Capitol riot, following a $25 million payout from Meta. Trump's attorneys are also expected to seek similar arrangements with Google regarding his YouTube ban, as Trump develops a close relationship with Musk.
