A federal judge has dismissed Elon Musk X’s lawsuit against the Center for Countering Digital Hate. The judge says X wanted to “punish” the organization for criticizing X.
In a decision filed Monday, federal Judge Charles Breyer dismissed a lawsuit from Elon Musk’s X against the Center for Countering Digital Hate , saying the company’s case is “about punishing the Defendants for their speech.” Judge Breyer writes that X’s “motivation in bringing this case is evident,” stating that the company’s goal is to “punish CCDH for CCDH publications that criticized X Corp. — and perhaps in order to dissuade others” from criticizing X in the future.
Musk’s X sued the CCDH in July 2023 over claims the organization “embarked on a scare campaign” to drive advertisers away from the platform, resulting in the loss of “tens of millions of dollars” in ad revenue. The lawsuit also alleged the CCDH breached X’s terms of service by “unlawfully” scraping data from the platform to create “unsubstantiated and incorrect” reports.
