So capitalism bans collusion? How?
Government regulations. Capitalism is a component of the government so it should take government action to enforce it.
Really? Because I've been repeatedly told by libertarian types (not socialists or communists) that any government regulation is not capitalism.
You're free to disagree with them, but then I'm going to ask what your definition of capitalism is that assumes this regulation (not just allowing it, but mandating it).

Found your problem. That's like asking flat earthers about gravity. They may think it exists but their concept of it is a fiction meant to align to their worldview.
Musk himself tends to identify with libertarianism; we can still critique him from his own standards without accepting them outright.
Well sure but that just makes him more wrong, not libertarians more credible.
No matter the system you need some level of regulation otherwise it’s just anarchy. What you want is a balanced regulation that not overbearing and keeps thing running smoothly.
WTF regulation would exist to possibly prevent a corporate boycott of X ads anyway?
"We hereby mandate that you buy ads on Xitter!"
That's your version of the one true capitalism? GTFOH
There is already laws on the books for collusion, and if they have been founded to have colluded to manipulate a company, those law apply to them
As far as I know, a corporate boycott of a thing isn't at all illegal.
You sound like fucking Ruxin from The League.
COLLUSIONNNNN!!!!
Oh, never watched
OK, but the libertarian types who generally worship Musk are not going to like you one bit for saying it.
I don’t fall into teams and I’m not part of a cult I’m looking at the big picture.
