Elon Musk loses big in court; X boycott perfectly legal
摘要
美国地方法院驳回了埃隆·马斯克针对广告商在其收购推特（现称X）后联合抵制广告行为的反垄断诉讼。法官裁定，马斯克未能有效陈述诉求，其关于广告商行为损害自身利益的主张未提供消费者受损害的事实依据。根据反垄断法，若未造成消费者损害，则不构成违法，因此法院认定该广告抵制行为完全合法。
On Thursday, Elon Musk lost his lawsuit alleging that advertisers violated antitrust law by colluding on an ad boycott after he took over Twitter, gutted content moderation teams, and disbanded the Trust and Safety Council.
In her opinion, US District Judge Jane Boyle wrote that the lawsuit was dismissed because Musk failed to state a claim. His arguments that advertisers acted against their own best interests by avoiding advertising on his platform, now called X, did not plead facts showing that consumers were harmed. Without consumer harm, there can be no antitrust violation, the judge wrote, deeming the ad boycott perfectly legal.
"The very nature of the alleged conspiracy does not state an antitrust claim, and the Court therefore has no qualm dismissing with prejudice," Boyle said. At one point, she emphasized, "the question underlying antitrust injury is whether consumers—not competitors—have been harmed."
