X allegedly used Musk-Trump relationship to strong-arm ad group
One of Musk’s lawyers allegedly used the billionaire’s proximity to Trump to pressure an advertising conglomerate to increase its ad spending on X. From the Wall Street Journal:
[block quote]
A lawyer at advertising conglomerate Interpublic Group fielded a phone call in December from a lawyer at X. The message was clear, according to several people with knowledge of the conversation: Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else. X CEO Linda Yaccarino has made comments that seemed like similar warnings in conversations with Interpublic executives...
Interpublic leaders interpreted the communications from X as reminders that the recently announced $13 billion deal to merge Interpublic with rival Omnicom Group could be torpedoed, or at least slowed down, by the Trump administration, given Musk’s powerful role in the federal government... They also had a front-row seat to Musk’s continued criticism of advertisers that ditched X since he bought it in 2022, when it was known as Twitter. Interpublic has recently signed a new annual deal with X for potential client spending, people familiar with the agreement said.

A spokesperson for Interpublic responded by telling the newspaper, “We do not make spending commitments on behalf of clients to any partner or platform, and decision-making authority always rests with the client.”](https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/114/051/860/582/363/479/original/8c3964cd45bcb163.png "Headline & text (edited for length):
