In a surprising and unsolicited tweet, Elon Musk accused the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of causing X, the formerly known Twitter, a loss of $22 million. Musk’s tweet, which caught many off guard, aimed to clear the platform’s name regarding allegations of anti-Semitism. He mentioned the possibility of filing a defamation lawsuit against the ADL, stating the irony of the situation. In response to a comment citing previous defamation fines imposed on the ADL, Musk claimed that the organization could potentially be responsible for destroying half of X’s value, amounting to approximately $22 billion. According to Musk, the ADL continues to label him and X as anti-Semitic, which he believes is detrimental to the company’s revenue. He revealed that US advertising revenue has decreased by 60%, largely due to pressure from the ADL on advertisers. If the accusations persist, Musk threatens to file a defamation suit against the ADL, suggesting that the organization remove the “anti” component from its name if they lose the case. Despite these tensions, Musk clarified that he would not ban the ADL from the platform unless they violate the law. He called on the organization to explicitly state its demands for the social network and hinted at the possibility of releasing communication between the ADL and X, revealing instances where the organization advocated for censorship and account banning. Musk emphasized his support for free speech while opposing all forms of anti-Semitism. The ADL declined to comment on the threatened lawsuit but addressed calls for its removal from X, stating its firm commitment to fighting hate in all its forms and ensuring the safety of Jewish communities and marginalized groups.
