Media Matters Lays Off Staff Amid Legal Threats from Elon Musk
May 23, 2024, 10:00 PM
Media Matters for America, a liberal media watchdog, has laid off several veteran researchers and writers. The layoffs come amid legal threats from Elon Musk and the Missouri Attorney General, Andrew Bailey. The organization is accused of spreading a hoax report and manipulating the algorithm on X (formerly Twitter) to place ads next to controversial posts, causing millions of dollars in financial losses for the platform. Media Matters is facing lawsuits and a potential cut in donor funding, which has led to the layoffs. The organization has been criticized for its tactics, which include targeting right-wing figures and attempting to deplatform them.
