“X CEO Linda Yaccarino has made comments that seemed like similar warnings in conversations with Interpublic executives, according to people with knowledge of those talks. 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, some of the people said.”

It’s one way to make X profitable I suppose.

> Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else.

What's with the wishy washy headline?

Saying "Musk extorts consumer corporations with government power" not politically correct these days?
