A federal judge has issued an injunction blocking the Federal Trade Commission's investigation into Media Matters, a liberal advocacy group known for its campaigns against Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News and Elon Musk’s social media platform X. Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan ruled that the inquiry, which examined whether Media Matters colluded with advertisers to undermine X's advertising business, constituted a violation of the First Amendment. The injunction prevents the Trump administration’s FTC from continuing what the court described as illegal retaliation against Media Matters for its liberal activism. Separately, a U.S. appeals court ruled in favor of Elon Musk's SpaceX and two other companies by blocking the National Labor Relations Board from pursuing cases against them, citing the board's likely unlawful structure. Additionally, Tesla must face a certified class action lawsuit brought by California drivers who allege that Musk misled them for eight years about the self-driving capabilities of Tesla vehicles.
