Let them eat each other.

Isn't this extortion? Since when are companies obliged to advertise on any platform?
Careful, you might get sued for not advertising on X. I’m presently planning to buy ads confirming that I have nothing to sell. You know, for “protection.”
Shut up, it’s sarcasm, leave me alone.
Good thing you said sarcasm. Otherwise I'd have to take out an x campaign, in all caps, using your sorry post as an example of a conservative oligarch supporting troll.
I hate that the world has become so stupid that I have to say it. Used to be a person could say something absurd and it was obvious that they were joking.
Only now, they become president and actually do the dumb things they post. I feel ya, buddy.
I commented on it below. There are no specifics in the article, but from the phrasing "collective action among competing", my guess is that this is probably an antitrust claim. That is, there's no obligation to buy service from a given company, but there may be an obligation for competitors to not collude in making buy/not-buy decisions from a supplier.
But if my memory is at all correct, they kinda all chose to leave/scale-back because of all the Nazi/hate speech "conservative" talk on Twitter. He then went full Karen and told them to F'off he didn't want/need them anyway.
I think this is just a way to try and get free money now that he has bought an administration with a DoJ for hire. It's time for him to try and get a return on that investment.
I think the crux of it is they are claiming collusion, in an anti-trust way. But I haven't heard the lawyers claim that once. Not once.
