Why does he hate free speech so much?
hahahahah i’d like to see that nazi fuck try, see him wade through discovery, the ADL was built for this shit, it’s their very reason for being
The thing is the added complexity that the plaintiff is adding is just going to extend out the entire process. The filing indicates something like a 60% loss of ad revenue. Even if the case runs smooth as butter, there’s no way Musk can get access to the money he’s seeking in time to cover the massive loss plus the huge debt obligations he’s sacked the company with already.
There’s zero ways restitution from this case would ever give the company enough head above water quick enough to prevent drowning in debt.
Elon Musk said Monday that X, formerly known as Twitter, has “no choice” but to file a defamation lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League amid an ongoing slump in advertising revenue.
“Based on what we’ve heard from advertisers, ADL seems to be responsible for most of our revenue loss,” Musk wrote on Monday. “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.”
How to avoid being antisemitic, step one: Don’t blame your incompetence and piss poor judgement on “the Jews.”
Elon Musk: D’oh!
So - Twitter has lost $40 billion in advertising revenue?
Sounds about right. Wonder how much more they can lose.
Step 2: If you ban someone who says they’re an antisemite/white supremacist, don’t unban them in response to criticism that you’re being antisemitic.
gotta love America where not making as much money as you wanted is a crime
That’s for people in the big club…
I don’t think we are entitled to such rights as peasants
“Free speech absolutist”
Oh he’s a free speech absolutist, alright! Free speech absolutely begins and ends with his personal views and those he finds agreeable.
It occurs to me that I’ve never heard of an absolutist that wasn’t a hypocrite in some way. They can excuse white supremacy and Nazis, but they draw the line at either being personally attacked or held accountable.
That’s not very free market of you bro.
How does he even do it? It’s like he’s on a zealous crusade to embarrass himself. I keep thinking “he can’t look any more foolish and shitty” and he fuckin KEEPS proving me wrong. It’s almost impressive at this point. He stays setting new PR for negative PR.

For those down voting have you read the link? It’s literally written by an Orthodox Jew who worked as a legal intern for the ADL in the 80s.
Terrible article. They provide no concrete examples, only empty platitudes. And it’s clear they’re extremely biased:
“The national ADL, like the ACLU, the NAACP, and other formerly “apolitical” civil rights groups, is now merely a tax-exempt cadre of the national Democratic Party. Anyone paying any kind of attention knows this. And as the Democratic Party has moved further into the fringes of Left-wing lunacy, the ADL has moved with it—whether a Jewish “antidefamation” issue is at stake or not. The party requires it.”
He calls every group defending civil rights “actually anti free speech” and suggests the ADL doesn’t do enough for Orthodox Jews, without again any evidence, because of “assimilated Jews”. This sentiment comes up again when he says that most Jews “reciprocate” the ADL’s supposed detestation of Judaism.
He’s just another religious conservative detached from reality. It’s actually quite concerning when a lawyer makes baseless claims about an anti defamation organization. I don’t know if it meets the legal definition of defamation, but it certainly gets the common usage for it. Anyone who’s ever been represented by this guy should get another trial, because this guy seems likely to prove your role in the murder in the process of trying to
prove your innocenceblaming liberals and judges for your arrest.Good article. The ADL obviously broke the law by saying mean things about Elon and his company, they need to pay for that!
I’m simply pointing out that the ADL are not paragons. They throw their weight around for their own political purposes. Just because bad guys say things you don’t like doesn’t mean they should not be allowed to say anything.
I agree, the ADL should be shut down for saying bad things about a job creator like Elon. Also, all the businesses that decided to stop buying ads on Elons site should also be shut down, it’s a blatant violation of the law for them to do that.
Your straw man burns brightly in effigy of things I have not said.
I’m on your side, sheesh. I’m sick of this woke cancel culture nonsense where businesses stop giving money Elon just because he “platforms Nazis”. They should be forced to keep giving him money. Now he has no choice but to take down the ADL.
Welcome to the internet. You must be new here. Seriously WTF is your problem? Continually reading things I never said in thing I have.
Sorry snowflake I thought you were for free speech?
Good, it’s his right to sue them. They hurt his business after everything he’s done for them
I think he should sue them as well, so when he loses it’s another loss for this shitburger of a human.
You shouldn’t be allowed to talk so disrespectfully about Elon, hope he sues you too. You’re a danger to free speech
