Elon Musk is fighting back against efforts by the left-wing Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to cut off ad revenue from X, formerly known as Twitter, threatening the infamous organization with a lawsuit and the disclosure of their communications with the company.
“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!” said Musk in a post yesterday.
“Advertisers avoid controversy, so all that is needed for ADL to crush our US & European ad revenue is to make unfounded accusations. They have much less power in Asia, so our ad revenue there is still strong,” continued Musk. The ADL, currently run by former Obama staffer Jonathan Greenblatt, is one the leading organizations pushing for censorship of online speech. It has longstanding relationships with social media platforms and their advertisers, using the latter as a cudgel against the former when required.
