Judge Reed O'Connor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas denied Media Matters' request Thursday, just as he denied the leftist outfit's motion to prevent the lawsuit from moving to the discovery phase in April and rejected its desperate attempt to list Tesla as an interested party in the lawsuit.

Contrary to the suggestion by Media Matters, O'Connor indicated that X Corp. has indeed succeeded in stating a claim for the following three causes of action: tortious interference with existing contractual relations, business disparagement, and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage.

The case will now go to trial on April 7.
