Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X, said on Thursday that the company will sue the "perpetrators and collaborators in the advertising boycott racket."

Musk made the announcement in response to a video of Ben Shapiro, co-founder of the Daily Wire, testifying at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on "Collusion in the Global Alliance for Responsible Media" on Wednesday.

"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 wrote on X Thursday.
