Soro's backed Media Matters could now be forced to pay back all the ad revenue 𝕏 has lost as a result of their lies

The judge overseeing Elon Musk and 𝕏's defamation lawsuit against Soros-backed Media Matters just DENIED their motion to dismiss. Media Matters could now be forced to pay back all the ad revenue 𝕏 has lost as a result of their lies

Last year, they manipulated 𝕏 to coerce many advertisers to leave the platform. They made it look like 𝕏 was serving ads next to "hate speech," but in reality, they set the whole thing up to frame Elon and the platform

They tried to claim the federal just in Texas did NOT have jurisdiction to hear the case, but the judge wholeheartedly REJECTED their claim, "Because the Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants, venue is proper, and Plaintiff has properly pled its claims, Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss is DENIED."
Hot Air adds:
Judge Reed O'Connor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas denied Media Matters' request Thursday, just as he denied the leftist outfit's motion to prevent the lawsuit from moving to the discovery phase in April and rejected its desperate attempt to list Tesla as an interested party in the lawsuit.

Contrary to the suggestion by Media Matters, O'Connor indicated that X Corp. has indeed succeeded in stating a claim for the following three causes of action: tortious interference with existing contractual relations, business disparagement, and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage.

The case will now go to trial on April 7.
