Elon Musk's X Resolves Multiyear Legal Dispute with World Federation of Advertisers
Elon Musk's X has resolved a multiyear legal dispute with the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), ending claims that the WFA orchestrated an illegal boycott of the platform. The settlement follows X's allegations that advertiser-driven content moderation policies harmed its revenue, though a court had previously dismissed the case due to lack of harm under competition laws.
X sued the WFA in 2024 for conducting what it called a "systematic illegal boycott" of the platform after it saw a decline in advertising revenue following Musk's $44 billion takeover of the social network.
