Judge dismisses Elon Musk's X lawsuit over "advertiser boycott"

Judge Jane Boyle dismissed X's 2024 antitrust lawsuit against a coalition of major advertisers, ending the case with prejudice.

The court found no antitrust injury.

X accused the World Federation of Advertisers and several global brands of coordinating an illegal boycott.

Companies named in the complaint included Twitch, Shell, Lego and Pinterest.

X filed the suit amid tension between Musk and advertisers after ad revenue fell roughly 50% in the year following the takeover.
