Rumble CEO joins Musk's advertising antitrust suit going after 'harmful monopoly'
FOX NewsAUG 2024
The Spin
Narrative A
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.
Narrative B
It will be very hard for X to prove that advertisers were engaged in a boycott. Even if X wins this case, companies cannot be forced to advertise on X, which isn't 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.
