May 10 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge dismissed a lawsuit in which Elon Musk’s X Corp accused an Israeli data-scraping company of illegally copying and selling content, and selling tools that let others copy and sell content, from the social media platform.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco ruled on Thursday that X, formerly Twitter, failed to plausibly allege that Bright Data Ltd violated its user agreement by allowing the scraping and evading X’s own anti-scraping technology.

      It’s ALWAYS a stupid question. Now he’s got a little fan club following him around to white-knight everyone that calls him out.

        Yeah it feels weird to get a ton of downvotes for just pointing out that this dude posts several times daily about Israel and nothing else.

        It’s weird if nothing else, for someone to do that… And then be defended for it.
