>The right to associate freely is not what is being debated here - the article clearly says this is about anti trust. Corporations do not have the right to just do whatever they want. A fair point. But does X (and by extension Elon Musk) have the right to demand that advertisers purchase ads specifically on X? If so, I'd love to get on that gravy train! "What? You're not spending advertising dollars on my platform? That's anti-trust! You are required to pay me!" Which is pretty much X/Musk's argument. Which isn't very compelling, is it? Feel free to disagree, but what specific law (anti-trust or otherwise) guarantees X the right to force folks to pay them to run ads they don't want to run on that platform. How would you justify that? I'd be very interested to know, because if Musk can do it, so can I and I could use a few hundred million in ad revenue too.
