Laws introduced to prevent people from boycotting israeli companies allow Musk to sueanyone who won't advertise on X for political reasons.

And no, the first amendment doesn't protect speech for private companies.

He'll win.

I give him about... 0% chance, with some pretty tight error bars.

The only way I see Musk eking out a win is if somehow those advertisers violated the contract terms by ending their business relationship, which would be incredibly surprising.
