Nestle SA, Shell PLC, Abbott Laboratories and a handful of other companies say they didn’t coordinate an advertising boycott of Elon Musk’s X following the billionaire’s purchase of the social media platform, refuting claims made in a lawsuit.

Lawyers for the companies asked a federal judge in Texas to dismiss X’s suit that accuses them of taking part in an illegal boycott that allegedly cost the platform billions of dollars. They argue that they all reacted independently to changes implemented by Musk that allowed unchecked antisemitic content and other toxic commentary to proliferate on X.

    Shell and Nestle have committed numerous atrocities against mankind. When your platform suddenly becomes untenable for them to run ads on, the problem is definitely your platform.

      I know, I mean when you are too evil for even Nestle and really any oil company. You need to take a serious look in the mirror.

      I feel there is a “No it’s them that are wrong” meme in here somewhere.
