NEWS: X's antitrust case against advertisers just got the DOJ and 12 states behind it. After Elon Musk bought Twitter, a group of advertisers pulled billions in ad spend in what X calls an illegal group boycott. X sued. A district court dismissed the antitrust claim. X is now appealing. This week several powerful voices filed briefs backing that appeal. The US Justice Department said the lower court "improperly analyzed antitrust injury" and "unduly restricted the scope of conduct that can constitute a group boycott." Twelve states, led by West Virginia, argued the court wrongly dismissed four foreign defendants. The American Antitrust Institute called the ruling "ambiguous and inscrutable" and said "clarification is sorely needed." Law professor John Yun wrote that the court's "premise and conclusion are both incorrect." Source: James Burnham (X's lead counsel) and the appeal briefs, August 2026
