The exodus of advertisers from X, formerly known as Twitter, is an existential risk for the company. But who’s to blame? Those who trust their own lying eyes might at least partly pin it on the explosion of toxic speech on the platform, which no longer polices such things very strongly since Elon Musk took over nearly a year ago. But as Musk sees it, those pointing out the hatred are the real bad guys here. First, X sued the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a nonprofit that researches online...

Elon Musk is threatening a defamation suit against the Anti-Defamation League, a prominent Jewish civil rights group, saying the group’s calls for advertisers to pause their spending on the platform formerly known as Twitter were based on false accusations that have financially damaged the company. The billionaire owner of X, formerly known as Twitter, said he had no choice but to sue the group to “clear our platform’s name on the matter of anti-Semitism.” And then there are the financial considerations: Fidelity, which helped finance Musk’s $44 billion takeover, is...

'Free speech absolutist' Elon Musk is threatening to sue the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

In a series of posts, the billionaire said that the ADL's pressure campaign on advertisers to leave X over its content moderation policies was primarily responsible for a 60 percent drop in the site's U.S. ad revenue. "If this continues, we will have no choice but to file a defamation...

O’Sullivan’s first law: “All organizations that are not explicitly right-wing will over time become left-wing.” The Anti-Defamation League (“ADL”) has declared war on X. This isn’t because X is antisemitic. It’s because the ADL is a branch of the Democrat party. Elon Musk is vowing to fight back. In 1913, B’nai B’rith founded the Anti-Defamation League (“ADL”) after Fulton County, Georgia, corrupt then and corrupt now, tried and convicted Leo Frank, a Jewish man, for a murder the evidence showed he didn’t commit. Since its inception, the ADL focused on...
