Elon Musk's platform X, formerly Twitter, has agreed to pay about$10 million to settle a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump. The case arose after Trump's account was suspended following the storming of the US Capitol in January 2021. This marks the second social media settlement with Trump after Meta Platforms agreed to pay$25 million last month.

Trump filed lawsuits in 2021 against major platforms, including Facebook, X, and YouTube, alleging they unlawfully silenced conservative voices. Despite Trump's reported close relationship with Musk, who contributed$250 million to his campaign, his legal team chose to pursue the settlement with X.

Musk, who leads Tesla and chairs the Department of Government Efficiency, a White House initiative, has not commented on the matter. Trump's attorneys are reportedly also seeking a settlement with Google over his YouTube ban.

Requests for comment from X, Alphabet, and the White House remain unanswered. Settlements highlight the continuing legal battles between Trump and major tech companies over content moderation policies.
