"Trump has delegated virtually unchecked authority to Mr. Musk without proper legal authorization," according to the lawsuit.

Elon Musk-owned X has agreed to pay to settle a lawsuit from his close ally President Donald Trump over Trump’s deplatforming following the January 6, 2021, insurrection, according to multiple reports that cite people familiar with the matter.

The social media site agreed to pay in the range of $10 million to settle with the president, who had sued over the suspension of his account in 2021.
