    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?

      Boycotts are absolutely legal, you are completely entitled to decide who you don’t want to do business with. However, illegality is no longer required for the justice system to be weaponized against you, and President Musk just wants to make an example to others who might not want to do business with an actual Nazi.

      Surely it’s up to the advertisers to choose where who they pay money to use?

      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.

      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…

        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.

        Reminds me of the guy who was accused by his gf of impregnating her, then refusing to support the child. Went through everything: the lawyers, friends and family who questioned his manhood and unwilling ess to take responsibility for the child, harassment, threats from her friends, etc. finally ended up in court in front of a judge, where he calmly produced a letter from a doctor that had performed a vasectomy on him well before the child could possibly have been conceived, took the win and walked out.

        I would pay to watch this rich spoilt man child have to eat his literal words. I’m sure it’s screenshotted all over the internet, but his ego won’t let him see the truth.

      You can also have friends if you just pay mercenaries to kidnap them from the street at gunpoint. Many many great friends at any time.

      Most politicians are bought for less than a million. The guy has hundreds of billions. I imagine he can buy a few judges along the way.

        Possibly, but none of those bought judges matter unless it ends up in their specific court. That’s why they’ve been trying to install as many of their own as possible.

    The lesson here is to never start advertising on that platform. You’re less likely to be sued by Musk if you never start advertising in the first place. Advertising on his platform is an unnecessary risk for your business:

      He must think it’s like the old dealership laws. Once you enter into an agreement, you can’t exit.

      Advertise once, advertise forever!
