Twitch settles with Musk over the lawsuit that went on since November of last year.
Twitch apparently settled with Musk over the alleged ad boycott that led to the X CEO trying to sue companies that didn’t placed ads on his platform.
Musk Claimed That Twitch Was Boycotting X
Back in November of last year, Elon Musk claimed that Amazon’s streamer platform Twitch was boycotting X by not placing any ads on the social media website.
While anyone else was sure that the extreme decline of ad revenue on X was mostly Musk’s own fault and the consequence of him taking over the company, laying off a huge amount of employees and changing guidelines to give people a free pass for hate speech, the X CEO himself was sure the reason for it was a boycott from Twitch and other companies.
Twitch Seemingly Settled With Musk
Now it seems like Twitch and Musk are willing to reach an agreement. X Corp.’s attorneys informed U.S. District Court Judge Jane Boyle on Monday that they had entered a “memorandum of understanding” with Amazon’s streaming platform to resolve the claims.
Counsel asked Boyle to pause the continuing of the lawsuit until the beginning of next year, when either X Corp. will officially dismiss the claims against Twitch, or both companies will file a status report.
So far we don’t know about the conditions of the agreement and if a reason for this change of the situation is influenced by Musk’s new position in the US government or not.
What are your thoughts on the case? What kind of agreement are you hoping for?
