The legal battle between Media Matters for America and X continues, but this time, the nonprofit organization has taken against Elon Musk's social media company by suing them back.
Media Matters is now asking a San Francisco court to intervene, particularly as the nonprofit received multiple lawsuits filed in two different countries.
Its legal battle with X stems back from two years ago when the social media company filed a complaint in three different courts against Media Matters for their alleged campaign against the platform, threatening its relationship with advertisers.
Media Matters Files a Lawsuit Against X For 'Harassing' Them
Media Matters for America (MMFA) recently filed a lawsuit against X in a San Francisco court that to counter the multiple lawsuits from Musk's company that were filed in three different countries. According to the nonprofit, X is violating its terms, particularly as it is stated on their policy that lawsuits should only be field with courts located in San Francisco County, California.
When X and Musk filed the lawsuit against Media Matters, they brought the complaint to a federal court in Texas, as well as in Ireland, and Singapore, which are all outside San Francisco.
However, it seems that the Texas lawsuit will remain as X changed its terms last year and clarified that all disputes may be directed to the Northern District of Texas courts, following the social media company's move from California to Texas.

X's Multiple Lawsuits Outside the US Against Media Matters
According to The Verge, Media Matters is now actively seeking payment of damages against X for having spent millions of dollars in defending itself against X's multiple lawsuits in three different countries.
Moreover, the nonprofit organization is also seeking the help of the San Francisco court to prevent X from pursuing more litigations outside the United States, and in this case, from Ireland and Singapore.
Elon Musk, Antisemitic Posts, and Media Matters
Almost two years ago, the entire antisemitic fiasco against Elon Musk and X sparked massive outrage and public outcry against the billionaire, with many condemning him for what he said on the platform he owns.
This led to many advertisers dropping their partnerships with X, suspending their ad placements, and leaving the platform for good, with the White House also speaking out against Musk and his platform.
However, what followed was a lawsuit that X launched against Media Matters, with Musk calling them out for their actions that led to X losing millions in advertising revenue. Musk and X went as far as to claim that Media Matters is looking to destroy X by driving away advertisers from the platform.
Despite the actions done by Musk to clarify his stance on antisemitism, specifically by going to the Auschwitz concentration camp, the lawsuit remains against Media Matters.
