Musk's X agrees to pay about $10 million to settle Trump lawsuit, WSJ reports

President Donald Trump has settled a lawsuit against Elon Musk's X for approximately $10 million after being banned following the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Some of the settlement will cover Trump's legal fees and the remainder will go towards his future presidential library, as reported by multiple sources.
Legal experts commented that the lawsuit had little chance of success because the First Amendment applies to government entities, not private companies.
Trump's previous lawsuit against social media platforms, including X, was dismissed in 2022, with legal analysts believing it had little chance of success.
