Musk’s X, major labels end dispute over music on social-media platform

A group of major music publishers, including Universal Music Group and Sony Music, have agreed to end a legal dispute ​with Elon Musk's X Corp over the use of their music ‌on the X social-media platform, according to federal court filings.

X Corp and the music labels asked a Tennessee federal court on Thursday to dismiss the labels' lawsuit that ​accused X of infringing hundreds of their copyrights by allowing its ​users to post their songs without a license.

They also asked ⁠a Texas federal court, to dismiss a countersuit X had filed that accused ​the labels of conspiring to block competition and forcing the platform to license ​their songs at inflated rates.
