the "suing advertisers for not advertising" thing is so... stupid. even if 
he had success with that, what company would be happy to advertise in a 
medium that sued you for stopping to take advantage of a service?

advertising because it could hurt their brands with the plans Musk had for 
twitter (or X as Musk calls it)
