X has reached a settlement with President Donald Trump in a lawsuit over the presidents 2021 suspension from Twitter. The Wall Street Journal reports that the Elon Musk-owned company has agreed to pay about $10 million to settle the long-running case.Trump sued Twitter, along with Meta and YouTube, more than three years ago after the companies booted him off their platforms following the riots on January 6, 2021. His lawyers claimed that the suspensions were a violation of his First Amendment rights. The lawsuit against Twitter was dismissed by a judge in 2022, but Trumps lawyers appealed that decision.Xs settlement comes shortly after Meta also reached an agreement with Trump. The company paid $25 million, much of which will go toward building Trumps presidential library, the company confirmed. The Wall Street Journal reports that the president's lawyers are also expected to pursue a settlement with Google. X didnt respond to a request for comment.The settlement with X is particularly notable given Elon Musks close relationship with Trump. The owner of X reinstated Trumps Twitter account soon after taking over the company in 2022 and spent at least $250 million on Trumps campaign in 2024. The president's lawyers reportedly considered letting the lawsuit fizzle out ahead of the settlement.Since Trump took office less than a month ago, Musk has used his perch at the top of the department of government efficiency to wreak havoc across the federal government, in a series of moves that have prompted multiple lawsuits and growing concerns about a constitutional crisis.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/social-media/x-will-pay-about-10-million-to-settle-lawsuit-over-donald-trumps-twitter-suspension-234757817.html?src=rss
