      Laws introduced to prevent people from boycotting israeli companies allow Musk to sueanyone who won’t advertise on X for political reasons.

      And no, the first amendment doesn’t protect speech for private companies.

      He’ll win.

    What about capital markets and the freedom to choose where to spend your money? Elmo can go get pegged by Trump.

      When people go we may use child slaves in our supply chain, steal and ruin water supplies, and bribe medical professionals to get discourage breastfeeding, but you’re too fucked up for us to work with then you know you’ve fucked up.

        To be clear, its not that twitter is too fucked up for nestle to work with, they absolutely would if they thought it would benefit them. Its that twitter has become so toxic that they see advertising there as a net negative.

    Are boycotts illegal? In this case I doubt there was an organized attempt, just some companies making individual business decisions. But even if Twitter can prove there was a boycott, is there a law against that?

      a certain amount of business collusion can be considered a cartel (other kind) and essentially monopolistic… but that’s usually price fixing… i don’t see how they could be compelled to advertise on a nazi platform.
      also, i respect these companies much more than any company that would, and consider this lawsuit great advertising
      but then again, the right trump appointed federal judge makes meaning pointless in law…

      The law doesn’t matter. With Musk’s position in the government this will basically end up as extortion: Settle or I’ll make things difficult for you.

    Can you please tag this elon, so that our spam filters work?

    It’s not practical to censor “x”
