X wants to keep suing advertisers, asks 5th Circuit to overrule district judge
Musk continues appeal despite court loss and settlement with advertiser group.
X Corp., the parent company of social media platform X (formerly Twitter), is attempting to revive a lawsuit against advertisers accused of boycotting the platform illegally, despite previously settling a case with an ad-industry trade group. The plaintiffs argue that the group boycott has caused massive economic losses and that regulators and Congress have taken notice.
However, a US District Judge in Texas previously ruled that the advertisers did not commit any antitrust violations, dismissing X's lawsuit in March. Recently, Elon Musk reached a settlement with the World Federation of Advertisers, the first defendant named in the lawsuit.
