Elon Musk, owner of the platform X (Twitter), has threatened to not only ban the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) from his platform, but has also reported that he had “no choice” but to file a defamation lawsuit against the advocacy group, which previously called on companies to stop advertising on the social media platform, claiming Musk has failed to clamp down on hate speech since his takeover of Twitter last year, allowing disinformation to proliferate – something Mr. Musk strongly denies.
Musk issued several tweets: “To clear our platform’s name on the matter of anti-Semitism, it looks like we have no choice but to file a defamation lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League … oh the irony!” (source
“Since the acquisition, The @ADL has been trying to kill this platform by falsely accusing it & me of being anti-Semitic.” (source
“Our US advertising revenue is still down 60%, primarily due to pressure on advertisers by @ADL (that’s what advertisers tell us), so they almost succeeded in killing X/Twitter!”
Zero Hedge reported today that the ADL has put pressure on X to deplatform popular anti-woke account Libs of TikTok, which is run by a conservative Jewish woman, Chaya Raichik. Musk reports that her account has nothing to do with anti-semitism, “which is their supposed charter.”
