      Musk is a petulant child who is running the government now, and will abuse it to whatever ends he desires

        This is honestly the most likely reason.

        Because legally speaking X has an uphill battle to try and prove collusion. Brands are not competitors, they’re buyers. Outside of some outstanding finding that GARM and co. colluded with the likes of Facebook and Snapchat for kick backs or rate reductions, X doesn’t have a win here.

        The thing Poppa X does have is lots of money. So far that’s worked a little, the WFA has shut down GARM citing that the legal battle has “drained its resources and finances.” But the WFA and some of the brands they represent are still named (Unilever has settled - never heard of them) - do they have the cash to push back? WFA doesn’t, they’re a non-profit. The rest? Not sure.

    So they’re going to pick a fight with a large number of very wealthy corporations, And with the wealth these corporations have , Twitter thinks they’re going to win.?

    This is gonna look something like a first year boxer getting in a ring with four of the greatest boxers of all time.

    I mean, what’s the argument here, you have to do business with every other business on the planet? How does that even make logical sense?

    If I run a burger shop and for whatever reason I don’t do business with your company, you’re able to sue me? How does this play out in the real world?

      We’ve seen how large corporations kneel down to power, too, so maybe he’s hoping his position in the Administration will get them to settle. Typically bully shit.
