Elon Musk: It looks like we have NO CHOICE but to file a defamation lawsuit against the ADL
Twitter/X ^ | Sep 4 | Elon Musk

@elonmusk

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!

...

In our case, they would potentially be on the hook for destroying half the value of the company, so roughly $22 billion.

@elonmusk

Based on what we’ve heard from advertisers, ADL seems to be responsible for most of our revenue loss.

Giving them maximum benefit of the doubt, I don’t see any scenario where they’re responsible for less than 10% of the value destruction, so ~$4 billion.

Document discovery of all communications between The ADL and advertisers will tell the full story.

Here’s a thought Elon.

Stop banning the very people who would use the X platform and for God’s sake, fire your Marxist platform runners and moderators. They are 99% of the problem.

Elon Musk is not an antisemite. Preposterous. Now MSNBC, CNN, and Facebook Meta
and its self-loathing Jewish proprietor — all that's another story.

So once again, it seems jewish people are behind the attempted destruction of a company.

There is clearly a trend going on.

@elonmusk

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.

This “controversy” causes advertisers to “pause”, but that pause is permanent until ADL gives the green light, which they will not do without us agreeing to secretly suspend or shadowban any account they don’t like.

That is the relationship they’ve had with X/Twitter for many years. Presumably, they have that with all western search or social media orgs

It takes time to weed a garden as infested with weeds as X.

Musk is a fanatical believer in free speech. That's why he bought Twitter in the first place. He will get it done.

Im in the dark about this, what’s been going on? The ADL has been accusing Twitter of being antisemitic?

They allegedly want certain accounts banned like LibsOfTikTok

Nonsense. The ADL has not been a Jewish organization for a long time now. They are a far-left, progressive group. Their loyalty is not to Israel or Judaism but to communism. The many, many conservative Jews, many here on FR, hate the ADL.

Southern Poverty is another group of millionaires breathing their own farts and liking it.

Censorship of even moderately conservative viewpoints through financial pressure has been the situation for decades. Despite having a huge audience, Rush Limbaugh was unable to obtain much on the way of corporate sponsors. His revenue came largely from local radio stations getting advertisers from businesses in their communities. And Limbaugh was within the Overton Window of acceptable opinions; he derided conspiracy theories and was certainly no racial and religious bigot.

Listen to mainstream conservative talk radio today. Most of the national advertisers are companies specializing in the conservative market: precious metals, survival foods, and health products. It isn't all the ADL, It is the woke character of many, if not most, large corporations.

Good, the ADL should be required to change its name to The Defamation League since that is its primary role and has been since its founding in 1913. Musk should also sue the NAACP, and SPLC, two other despicable groups whose primary interest is in defaming people and raising money for their lavish lifestyles.

All this focus on the ADL while the SPLC is still running its scams is poor targeting.

Start with Linda Yaccarino, who's restored Twitter 1.0's censorship & shadowbanning policies and put them ON STEROIDS to boot.

Truth. SPLC needs to to, as does the Anti Civil Liberties Union (ACLU.)

Let FREE SPEECH reign, and let the marketplace of ideas work.
