Elon Musk took his rhetoric to even more extreme places on Monday while responding to a far-right activist who describes himself as a “raging antisemite.”
Musk appeared at that conference to be interviewed by Linda Yaccarino, who would later be hired away from NBCUniversal in a bid to calm worries from advertisers on Twitter. It’s unclear how successful that campaign has been since Musk has acknowledged advertising revenue is down by about 50% over the past year.
. The ADL has found an increase in hate speech on X since Musk bought the site and CEO Jonathan Greenblatt recently had a discussion with CEO Linda Yaccarino about the problem. Greenblatt tweeted about his discussion with Yaccarino on August 30. “I had a very frank + productive conversation with @LindayaX yesterday about @X, what works and what doesn’t, and where it needs to go to address hate effectively on the platform,” Greenblatt tweeted, according to the“I appreciated her reaching out and I’m hopeful the service will improve. @ADL will be vigilant and give her and @ElonMusk credit if the service gets better… and reserve the right to call them out until it does,” Greenblatt continued.. “A strong and productive partnership is built on good intentions and candor. Thank you Jonathan,” Yaccarino tweeted. Musk’s apparent obsession with the ADL has continued for several days, even suggesting that perhaps an online poll would be useful to see if the organization should be. When a large account known as Wall Street Silver described the ADL as one of many “radical left wing hate groups,” Musk implicitly endorsed the idea with a tweet reading, “It would be difficult to describe them as centrist.” X did not respond to emailed question about Musk’s tweets on Monday. I’ll update this article if I hear back.
