- The High Court has awarded legal costs against Elon Musk’s social media giant ‘X’
Summary
The High Court awarded legal costs against X Internet Unlimited Company after it failed to secure a stay on Coimisiún na Meán's investigation into complaints from platform users. X is seeking to quash the commission's decision to refer complaint information to its supervisory team, while the commission says that referral is within its powers. Mr Justice Cian Ferriter stayed the costs order pending the substantive proceedings scheduled for July 2-3.
