Hot Topic: 8 out of 10 think Musk and X are wrong in advertiser suit

Starbucks is directing baristas to begin writing customers’ names on cups again, along with notes such as “You’re amazing,” “Seize the day,” and “Hello again,” according to an internal memo Business Insider obtained. One barista told the publication that the new rule could be onerous for workers who also have been told that they need to prepare drink orders in under four minutes.

Circling back: Last week, we told you about X adding companies including Nestlé and Colgate-Palmolive to a suit first filed in August that alleged that when the companies pulled advertising from the platform, often for reasons including loosening content moderation and antisemitic content, the companies were illegally conspiring against X and violating antitrust laws.

We asked if you thought the advertisers were acting legally when they pulled their ads from X, and nearly 8 out of 10 (79.9%) of you said yes, the advertisers were acting legally. Another 17.8% said the advertisers were not acting legally, while 2.3% didn’t know or weren’t sure.
