Media Matters reported on the advertising of major brands appearing next to pro-Nazi content on the platform.
Among those cited were IBM, Apple, Comcast Xfinity, Oracle and Bravo.
Ted Johnson contributed to this report.
Media Matters President Angelo Carusone said in a statement, “Far from the free speech advocate he claims to be, Musk is a bully who threatens meritless lawsuits in an attempt to silence reporting that he even confirmed is accurate. Musk admitted the ads at issue ran alongside the pro-Nazi content we identified. If he does sue us, we will win.”Musk has previously threatened lawsuits against critics but not followed through. In September, when the Anti-Defamation League criticized the platform for increasing anti-semitic and other hate speech, Musk vowed litigation but none was filed. He blamed ADL for an advertising decline of 60%.
