Elon Musk's X isn't done suing advertisers, asks court to revive boycott case

In a recent development, Elon Musk's social media platform X is attempting to revive a lawsuit against advertisers accused of engaging in an illegal boycott. This move comes despite Musk's previous settlement with the World Federation of Advertisers, which was intended to end litigation against the ad-industry trade group. The lawsuit, which alleges a brazen group boycott, has caught the attention of regulators and Congress, leading X to argue that there is no valid reason why the victim should not seek to recover its significant economic losses from the boycott.

The case was previously dismissed in March by US District Judge Jane Boyle, who ruled that the advertisers did not commit any antitrust violations.
