Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, has agreed to a $10 million settlement with former U.S. President Donald Trump to resolve a lawsuit regarding censorship claims. The lawsuit was initiated after Trump was banned from the platform, previously known as Twitter, following the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. This settlement marks the second time Trump has received a monetary settlement from a social media platform after a similar situation with Meta, which paid him $25 million. This settlement with X is part of a broader narrative of Trump’s legal actions against major social media companies concerning bans imposed in the wake of the Capitol insurrection.
