Musk's social media X to pay Trump crazy amounts for blocking his account in 2021.

Elon Musk will pay $10 million due to Trump's account blocking

Billionaire Elon Musk has decided to pay over $10 million to settle a lawsuit filed by former US President Donald Trump over the blocking of his account in 2021, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Trump, along with other plaintiffs, sued Twitter and its CEO Jack Dorsey.

According to sources, Trump's team considered the option to halt the lawsuit, citing that Musk had supported the president during the elections and spent a significant amount on his campaign. Ultimately, the parties reached a settlement.

This occurred after Meta settled a similar lawsuit with Trump for $25 million on January 30, without admitting any wrongdoing. This settlement was made following Trump's victory in the 2024 elections and Mark Zuckerberg's attempts to improve relations with him.

Zuckerberg donated $1 million for the inauguration of the new president and was present at the ceremony alongside Cabinet members. He also relaxed content moderation rules on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads and refused to collaborate with external fact-checkers.

Trump filed a lawsuit against Meta after his account was suspended due to events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
