After President Trump's claims were dismissed, Elon Musk bought Twitter and renamed it X. President Trump was also banned from various social media platforms and launched his own social media platform, ' TRUTH Social .'

And now, documents filed in court on February 7, 2025 have revealed that both the plaintiff Trump campaign and the defendant X are asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit. The documents do not provide any details other than that both parties will cover the costs of the lawsuit.
