A federal appeals court has thrown out journalist Alex Berenson's lawsuit over the permanent suspension of his Twitter account in 2021, ruling that the case he built around an alleged government and industry conspiracy does not hold up in law. The decision in Berenson v. Gottlieb, issued by the Second Circuit on October 20, 2026, affirms a district court ruling that had dismissed several defendants in 2025.

Grok, the AI assistant built into X, now has an official route into large companies. SpaceX Super Intelligence, the SpaceX AI division formerly known as xAI, launched the SpaceX Super Intelligence Partner Network on Thursday, October 22, 2026, describing it as its official program for companies building products, solutions, and services with Grok.

The Like button on X is about to be worth money. Elon Musk announced on Sunday, October 25, 2026, that X is adding a way to send money with a single gesture: press and hold the Like button on a post, and one dollar goes to its author through X Money. “We’re adding long press on like to send someone $1 via X Money,” Musk wrote in a post on the platform.

Texas voters are watching one of the country's most expensive Senate races unfold in two places at once: at rallies across the state, and in short public posts on X. The platform's owner, Elon Musk, is not a bystander in the contest between Democratic nominee James Talarico and Republican nominee Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general. He is a participant, posting attacks on Talarico from his own account while his money backs Paxton.

Making short video for X just got much cheaper for anyone willing to work through an API. xAI has added a Lite tier to its Grok Imagine video models, and the headline number is hard to miss: two cents for every second of finished video at the lowest resolution. For creators who test several versions of a clip before posting one, that pricing changes the math of experimenting.

Grok Bot can now reach into the built-in apps on a phone. The official Grok Bot account announced on October 22 that the assistant can use Calendar, Reminders, Contacts and more apps, and said the feature is rolling out now on iOS and Android. It arrives just days after Grok Bot picked up support for the iPhone Action Button, and less than a week after a major update that brought X Chat support.

If you have connected a scheduling tool to X in the past few weeks, you have probably met the warning. The authorization screen tells you, in X's own words, that "This app is not affiliated with X and is requesting sensitive permissions," and it asks you to tick a box labeled "I trust this app" before you can continue. It looks like a security alert. According to reporting published on Friday by FutureTweets, it is not a glitch, and it is not going away.

A Colorado appeals court has thrown out a 10 million dollar verdict against X Corp., ruling that a Boulder judge misinterpreted the company's former lease there. The Colorado Court of Appeals reversed the judgment on Thursday, October 22, in a unanimous decision by a three-judge panel, and the case now returns to Boulder.

A Dutch court has cleared the way for a collective damages case against X to be argued in full. On Thursday, October 22, the District Court of Amsterdam ruled that the proceedings brought by Stichting Onderzoek Marktinformatie, known as SOMI, may proceed, finding that the foundation meets all legal requirements to bring the action and appointing it the exclusive representative in the case. The case will now proceed on the merits.

X faced one of its sharpest warnings yet from a government on Thursday, October 22, when a South Korean lawmaker told a National Assembly audit hearing that drug sales and sex-trafficking posts remain searchable on the platform, and that if the situation is not improved by the end of this year, X should be designated a harmful site and its access blocked.
