Seems like you're trying to listen to 2 message events, messageCreator and message.

The event messageCreator doesn't exist. You need to replace it with messageCreate.

The event message has been deprecated. (Also, you've named your message instance Message but you're referring to it as msg.)

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client({
    intents: [Discord.GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, Discord.GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages],
});

client.on("ready", () => {
    console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on("messageCreate", (msg) => {
    if (msg.content === "ping") {
        msg.reply("pong");
    }
});

client.login(process.env.TOKEN);
