Platform X has agreed to pay approximately 10 million dollars to settle a lawsuit filed by former President Donald Trump against Twitter after his account was suspended in January 2021 due to the risk of inciting further violence.
Trump alleges that the suspension of his account violated his freedom of speech rights under the US Constitution. Although this case is set to be heard in 2022, Trump’s legal team has filed a motion.
X has agreed to settle the lawsuit after Meta paid 25 million dollars to settle a similar lawsuit. Most of the money will be used to build a library for Trump.
Trump and Elon Musk have become closer. Since Musk acquired Twitter, he has restored Trump’s Twitter account and supported his campaign with over 250 million dollars. After Trump took office, Musk played a role in a major government overhaul, leading to legal and constitutional concerns.
