X Corp, formerly Twitter, will file a lawsuit against Media Matters and those who attacked social media platform X, Elon Musk has said. Mr Musk posted a statement on Saturday on the platform, soon after major US companies paused their advertisements on the site. "The split second court opens on Monday, X Corp will be filing a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and all those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company," Mr Musk wrote on X, without naming any other parties. Liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America earlier this week said it found that corporate advertisements by IBM, Apple, Oracle and Comcast's Xfinity were being placed alongside anti-Semitic content. IBM on Thursday said it immediately suspended all advertising on Musk-owned X after the watchdog found its ads were placed next to content promoting Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Disney, Warner Bros Discovery and Comcast, Lions Gate Entertainment and Paramount Global said on Friday they were also pausing their ads on X. Axios reported that Apple would do the same. "Media Matters created an alternate account and curated the posts and advertising appearing on the account's timeline to misinform advertisers about the placement of their posts." Media Matters did not immediately respond to an emailed request seeking comment outside of business hours. Advertisers have fled the site since Musk bought it in October 2022 and reduced content moderation, resulting in a sharp rise in hate speech on X, according to civil rights groups. Mr Musk on Wednesday endorsed an anti-Semitic post on X that falsely claimed members of the Jewish community were stoking hatred against white people. The White House on Friday condemned Elon Musk's endorsement of what it called a "hideous" anti-Semitic conspiracy theory on X. It accused Mr Musk of an "abhorrent promotion of anti-Semitic and racist hate" that "runs against our core values as Americans". "It is unacceptable to repeat the hideous lie … one month after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust," White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said, referring to the October 7 attack by Palestinian Islamist group Hamas on Israel.

LOS ANGELES — Less than 24 hours after Elon Musk endorsed an antisemitic post on X as “the actual truth” of what Jewish people were doing, IBM paused its advertising on the social media platform as X’s CEO, Linda Yaccarino, and others at the company scrambled Thursday to contain the fallout. X employees said Thursday that they had gotten calls from advertisers wondering why Musk was making comments seen as antisemitic and why their ads were showing up next to white nationalist and Nazi content,

The treatment has some side effects: participants experienced brief flu-like symptoms, including fever, headaches and body aches, as well as a temporary increase in liver enzymes, which returned to normal within days. But two of the ten participants experienced cardiovascular events: one died from a heart attack five weeks after receiving VERVE-101, and the other had a heart attack after one day. An independent safety board concluded that the first event was expected in people who had such advanced heart disease and was not related to treatment. The the participant who experienced the second event did not inform the trial investigators of a chest pain which started before the treatment. The board recommended trial enrolment be continued without changes to the drug protocol.

The Guardian has removed a letter written by Osama Bin Laden, explaining his war against the United States is partly because of its support of Israel, after it had gone viral on TikTok. “This page previously displayed a document containing, in translation, the full text of Osama bin Laden’s ‘letter to the American people,’ as reported in the Observer on Sunday 24 November 2002,” a note on the Guardian’s site where the letter previously appeared now reads. “The document, which was published here on the same day, was removed on 15 November 2023.” “The transcript published on our website 20 years ago has been widely shared today on social media without its original context,” a spokesperson for The Guardian told 404 Media. “Therefore we have decided to take it down and direct readers to the news article that originally contextualized it instead.”

The Supreme Court's "code of conduct" is conspicuously tailored to all the unethical things the justices love doing so much. Earlier this week, the Supreme Court addressed its bottomless supply of humiliating ethics scandals by issuing its first-ever code of conduct, albeit in the most petulant manner imaginable. The code, the justices wrote in a silly, pissy preface, is merely a “codification” of rules they have “long” followed, and aims to correct the “misunderstanding” that the justices “regard themselves as unrestricted by any ethics rules.” Put differently, widespread outrage at the revelation that Clarence and Ginni Thomas spend several weeks each summer living in the breast pockets of various billionaires is the unfortunate product of overwrought public ignorance. As my colleague Madiba Dennie has written, easily the code’s most glaring omission is the fact that it can’t be enforced: For justices who unapologetically flout it, there are exactly zero consequences. But enforcement aside, the code’s substantive provisions are also the work product of a Court controlled by a six-justice conservative supermajority, whose members made very sure that the rules, such as they are, would not implicate the things they love doing most. I am not suggesting that Leonard Leo literally drafted this “code of conduct.” I am simply pointing out that if he had, I am not sure what about it would be different.
