It’s all fine and great that Elon Musk is toying with the leftist Anti-Defamation League by threatening to sue it for (ironically) defamation. The scammy nonprofit has pushed advertisers to stay away from his social media company X. But the ADL should have been prosecuted a long time ago for defrauding the American public. And its co-conspirators in the media should have been, too.
Musk this week said it was the ADL’s fault that X, formerly known as Twitter, is hemorrhaging dollars after the shakedown outfit called on corporations to halt ad buys on Musk’s platform. “Since the acquisition, The @ADL has been trying to kill this platform by falsely accusing it & me of being anti-Semitic,” he wrote. Musk also claimed that ad revenue was down 60 percent, “primarily due to pressure on advertisers by @ADL.”
Whether the 60 percent figure is true doesn’t matter. It’s illegal in this country to lie in ways that falsely besmirch a person or private business in ways that cause them harm, including the financial kind. That’s precisely what the ADL does all day long, and it’s never in the name of “anti-hate” or whatever saccharine term the left is using at the moment.
The ADL systematically targets people and businesses that either fail to advance or actively oppose the primary goals of the Democratic Party. No goal is currently more primary than the suppression of oppositional political speech and information. Your opponents can talk, but if no one hears them, did they really make a sound?
It was when Musk purchased Twitter at a premium last year with a vow to rein in its over-paid censorship zealots — who giddily and exclusively focus their energies on posts from right-wingers — that the ADL aimed its artillery directly at Musk.

Yes
There were some clowns claiming that Musk was being anti-Semitic with his lawsuit. The bottom line is that if the ADL has to hide behind that claim, then it’s even more the reason to send them to the showers.
This organization was founded to posthumously exonerate a Jewish child rapist/murderer (who tried to frame a black man) & who fortunately got the frontier justice he deserved.

Don’t post to me anymore.
They will suffer a lot more if X wins a defamation lawsuit than if the gubming convicts them for conspiracy if that can even happen with leftests judges. ADL and their principals will be hounded for the next century by attorneys trying to collect on X’s outsize losses since Elon bought the thing.
