The WFA and other companies engaged in an advertising boycott racket. This was a coordinated effort to demonetize and limit certain platforms, content creators, and news organizations. This conspiracy cost X billions of dollars in ad revenue and was an unfair anti-competitive tactic aimed at limiting certain viewpoints.
It will be very hard for X to prove that advertisers were engaged in a boycott and it is up to the company's lawyers to show that there was an actual agreement to boycott joined by each advertiser. Even if X wins this case, companies cannot be forced to advertise on X., Xwhich isisn't not automatically guaranteed the money or business of advertisers. Besides, the truth is that advertisers left the platform due to Musk's gross mismanagement of the company.
