Upon seeing the House GOP’s apparent collusion between supposed guardians of free speech and advertisers, billionaire Elon Musk said his platform X would sue for slandering those running an advertising boycott against conservative news organizations.

The Wednesday hearing, led by the House Judiciary Committee with Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) as its ringleader interviewing four people on the case.

“Having seen the evidence unearthed today by Congress, X has no choice but to file suit against the perpetrators and collaborators in the advertising boycott racket. Hopefully, some states will consider criminal prosecution,” Musk tweeted.

The House Judiciary released a report saying that “In exercising oversight of the adequacy and sufficiency of existing U.S. antitrust laws, the Committee has been investigating apparent collusion within the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) and specifically its Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) initiative. Through GARM, large corporations, advertising agencies, and industry associations participated in boycotts and other coordinated action to demonetize platforms, podcasts, news outlets, and other content deemed disfavored by GARM and its members.”

Earlier this month, Musk announced on X that they had “reinstated” their relationship with the WFA and GARM and was “proud to be part of the GARM community!”

“By basically demonetizing conservative platforms and websites, you make it that tough for those ideas to be heard,” Jordan told Newsmax. “We asked the question for one of the companies who is on the board of this organization GARM, Global Alliance for Responsible Media — misnamed, should be named HARM — one of the companies that was there. I said, do you advertise on The Daily Wire? Do they advertise on Newsmax? Do they advertise on Breitbart?”

“And the answer to those questions was no. But they advertise on ‘The View.’ They advertise in The Washington Post. So it’s totally biased. We all know that instinctively, but now we have documents that show it,” he added.

Jordan highlighted a reported GARM attempt to boycott X in October 2022 when it was bought by Musk.

“They use this term ‘uncommon collaboration,’ which is a fancy way of saying it’s a cartel, and we’re going to set these standards,” Jordan said. “But the standards are such that they’re so subjective. They can sort of be gotten around any way you want. And then all they really do is advertise on left sides or where there are sites with no politics, and they never seem to put any advertising dollars or very little when it comes to conservative platforms and conservative websites.”
