Major Brands Added to Twitter’s Lawsuit Alleging Multi-Billion-Dollar Ad Boycott

X formerly Twitter has expanded its lawsuit against major corporations, alleging a coordinated effort to withhold ad revenue in violation of antitrust laws. Companies including Nestle, Shell, Colgate-Palmolive, and Tyson Foods were added to the case, which claims the World Federation of Advertisers organized a boycott after Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform.

The lawsuit argues that advertisers pulled funding due to Musk’s commitment to free speech and reduced content restrictions. While some brands have begun returning to X, the case underscores the broader battle over corporate influence on digital platforms.
