Elon Musk is at the center of yet another legal battle over money allegedly owed by X, the company formerly known as Twitter. A French international news agency, Agence France-Presse (AFP), announced yesterday that it has taken legal action in theJudicial Court of Paris to compel X to provide the data needed to assess compensation owed for X users sharing AFP news content on the platform.
Musk's only reported response so far comes in a post formerly known as a tweet.
"This is bizarre," Musk wrote. "They want us to pay *them* for traffic to their site where they make advertising revenue and we don't!?"
