Elon Musk's company X is attempting to reinstate a lawsuit against advertisers, alleging that they engaged in an illegal boycott of the social media platform. This action comes after a previous settlement was reached to conclude litigation against an advertising industry trade group. In a filing submitted to the court, X stated, "This case involves an unusually brazen group boycott," and noted that the matter has attracted attention from regulators and Congress. X argues that there is no valid reason to prevent the company from pursuing recovery for significant economic losses attributed to the alleged boycott. The lawsuit was dismissed in March by US District Judge Jane Boyle in the Northern District of Texas, who ruled that the advertisers did not violate antitrust laws. Recently, Musk reached a settlement with the World Federation of Advertisers, the first defendant in the case.
