The lawsuit accuses advertisers of illegally colluding to "collectively withhold billions of dollars in advertising revenue" from Twitter.

      Businesses colluding to harm a competitor is though, which is what he claims.

      It’s still ridiculous claim.

    The man who told advertisers to go fuck themselves is mad that advertisers left.

      Big decisions such as "all NASA funding now belongs to Space X, and it’s illegal for businesses to not maintain a presence and advertising budget with Xitter.

      Stop hoping that, because you’ll only be disappointed. He can lose 99% of his money and still be one of the richest men on the planet. He would still be worth billions of dollars. He cannot fail at this point. It would take a full time staff a lifetime to give all of his money away. Sorry dude. The worst that can happen to him is that people stop paying attention to him, which would be a punishment worse than death for him.

        Since most of his “money” is just share it would be completely plausible that it collapse I m hoping that it would happen :)

    There is absolutely nothing illegal about companies conspiring to NOT give another unrelated company money. What a dipshit.

    And you know the only reason this lawsuit exists is because dumbass probably said something along the lines of, “I don’t care if we lose, I don’t care if it’s a waste of money. Sue them.”

    I just hope Twitch counter-sues with a SLAAP suit, because they would probably win.

      Is he getting to do this with his favoured judge in Texas. That’s the scary thing he gets to pick people in the judiciary to execute his legal desires.

    Yes? And? Advertisers have a legal right to stop advertising. What an entitled prick.
