Elon Musk’s Twitter agrees to pay $10,000,000 to settle Donald Trump ‘censorship’ lawsuit

Donald Trump sued Twitter after he was banned from the platform in 2021

Elon Musk’s Twitter has agreed to pay $10 million to settle Donald Trump’s ‘censorship’ lawsuit that was brought about after the January 6 Capitol riots.

Following the riots that unfolded in January 2021 in Washington DC, social media companies such as Meta and Twitter suspended the then-outgoing president from their platforms.

“After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” Twitter said on the suspension.

As per the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, Trump decided to sue Twitter and Jack Dorsey, who was then CEO of the social media giant, in July 2021.

The 78-year-old argued his comments were unfairly censored, though the ban remained until Twitter changed ownership.

Twitter is of course now owned by Musk, a good friend of the president and also a part of his government.

The Tesla founder co-runs the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and Musk has even visited the White House recently.

So, in somewhat expected news, Trump’s lawsuit involving Twitter has come to an end after the social media company agreed to pay the sum of $10 million to settle the lawsuit.

Back in May 2022, Judge James Donato dismissed the lawsuit, stating Twitter hadn’t infringed Trump’s First Amendment rights to free speech.

UNILAD has reached out to Musk’s representatives for comment.

Following the verdict, the president had appealed to the US Court of Appeals, and the case was pending until Musk agreed to pay up.

Musk joined Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday (February 11), where an awkward interaction with a reporter occurred.

Musk was asked by a reporter to publicly correct a statement he made about sending $50 million worth of condoms to Gaza in the Middle East, when it was actually Gaza in Mozambique.

“How can we make sure that all the statements that you said were correct, so we can trust what you say?” the journalist subsequently asked.

The Tesla founder, who also forefronts the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), replied: “Some of the things that I say will be incorrect and should be corrected.

“I mean, you know, we will make mistakes, but we’ll act quickly to correct any mistakes.”

Musk also said: “I’m not sure we should be sending $50 million worth of condoms to anywhere, frankly. I’m not sure that’s something Americans would be really excited about.”

    Equipos de balanceo: clave para el operacion uniforme y eficiente de las maquinarias.

    En el mundo de la avances contemporanea, donde la productividad y la seguridad del sistema son de gran significancia, los equipos de calibracion desempenan un tarea vital. Estos dispositivos especificos estan desarrollados para equilibrar y regular elementos moviles, ya sea en maquinaria productiva, transportes de movilidad o incluso en dispositivos domesticos.

    Para los expertos en conservacion de sistemas y los tecnicos, trabajar con aparatos de balanceo es fundamental para promover el funcionamiento uniforme y confiable de cualquier mecanismo movil. Gracias a estas soluciones tecnologicas avanzadas, es posible minimizar sustancialmente las vibraciones, el ruido y la tension sobre los cojinetes, aumentando la tiempo de servicio de componentes caros.

    Tambien relevante es el funcion que desempenan los dispositivos de ajuste en la soporte al cliente. El asistencia especializado y el mantenimiento constante usando estos aparatos facilitan ofrecer soluciones de optima calidad, aumentando la satisfaccion de los clientes.

    Para los propietarios de empresas, la inversion en estaciones de calibracion y sensores puede ser clave para mejorar la eficiencia y desempeno de sus sistemas. Esto es principalmente relevante para los emprendedores que manejan pequenas y intermedias organizaciones, donde cada aspecto es relevante.

    Tambien, los dispositivos de ajuste tienen una gran implementacion en el campo de la proteccion y el gestion de nivel. Habilitan identificar probables fallos, impidiendo mantenimientos elevadas y averias a los equipos. Mas aun, los datos generados de estos equipos pueden emplearse para optimizar metodos y mejorar la presencia en plataformas de exploracion.

    Las zonas de implementacion de los equipos de calibracion cubren multiples areas, desde la manufactura de transporte personal hasta el monitoreo del medio ambiente. No importa si se considera de importantes producciones manufactureras o modestos talleres de uso personal, los sistemas de calibracion son esenciales para asegurar un funcionamiento efectivo y sin presencia de interrupciones.
