Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, has agreed to pay around million to resolve a lawsuit filed by President Trump against the company and its former CEO, as per the Wall Street Journal.

Trump’s team considered letting the lawsuit fizzle out, people familiar with the matter told WSJ, citing the billionaire’s close proximity to the president and the fact that Musk spent $250 million to help elect him.

But they ultimately moved forward with the settlement, it reported.

X did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
