Elon Musk added seven new targets to a lawsuit accusing advertisers of violating U.S. antitrust law by choosing not to advertise on X.

Elizabeth Nolan Brown : Antitrust law cannot require private companies to continue associating with a company they don't wish to simply because ceasing business with that company will make it less competitive.

Brown: Boycotts are part of free markets and of free expression.

The fact that these companies acted in tandem, not alone, is at the core of Musk 's complaint.

It's not unreasonable for them to have feared that an exodus of users would diminish the value of advertising on the platform, and to have temporarily pulled back spending to see how things shook out.

Wyoming Republicans have offered a bill that excludes abortion from the definition of health care.
