Elon Musk’s X settles multiyear legal battle with the World Federation of Advertisers
TechCrunch·July 29, 2026
Elon Musk's X has settled a multiyear legal battle with the World Federation of Advertisers. The lawsuit was filed in 2024, with X accusing the WFA of conducting a "systematic illegal boycott" of the platform. This boycott allegedly occurred after Musk's $44 billion takeover of the social network, which led to a decline in advertising revenue. The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed, bringing an end to the lengthy dispute between the two parties.
