Elon Musk exposes Media Matters as an ideological shakedown operation

Elon Musk just opened a new front in the war for free speech in a Fort Worth federal court.

There, his X launched a legal missile against Media Matters for America, the longtime left-wing speech assassin and smear merchant that masquerades as a progressive research and information center.

X alleges the nonprofit founded by Democratic hatchet man David Brock, funded by the likes of progressive billionaire George Soros and fixated on canceling conservative voices such as the late Rush Limbaugh and hosts on Fox News has trained its sights on obliterating the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Media Matters sought to defame and damage the platform by executing the dirtiest of dirty tricks.

According to X s suit: Looking to portray X s social networking platform as being dominated by white nationalist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, 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.

Media Matters apparently manipulated X s algorithms to cook up the desired guilt by association.

According to X s investigation, the scheme worked like this: First, the tax-exempt left-wing attack dog created an account to follow exclusively fringe X users on the one hand and X s biggest paid advertisers major corporations like Apple, Comcast and IBM on the other.
