A large group of several leftist advertisers pulled out of X at the same time. It's obvious because they don't agree with Elon's politics. In a way it's an attack against his company, and he's filing suit because of it.
Isn't it their right to stop running ads on a platform they disagree with? How are they legally obligated to continue placing ads on X?
This is a common scenario.
Back in 2021, over 1,000 companies pulled their ads from Facebook because they thought Facebook didn't do enough to stop hate speech after the George Floyd thing.
There was a big kerfuffle over what some of those nags on "The View" said, and the tv station lost 5 big ad accounts because of it.
I just don't see how you can legally force a company to advertise with X if they don't want to.
And what can of worms is this going to open up in the future? Because you know if Musk wins this, libs will use it as well. They'll start forcing conservative companies to advertise on pornohub or something.
I'm sure there is much more to it, this is just at first glance. I haven't done any deep diving on the research of it yet. He has a lot mentioned that he's filing a lawsuit for, including their "dark money"

This is just stupid.
