TECH - Elon Musk Accuses Anti-Defamation League Of Damaging X: Alleges $22B Hit Due To Anti-Semitism Accusations | Benzinga
Elon Musk seems to be preparing for a legal battle against the Anti-Defamation League or ADL, alleging $22 billion in damages, accusing the Jewish non-governmental organization that seeks to fight anti-semitism and extremism around the world, of sabotaging his social media platform, X, through false contention of anti-Semitism.
What Happened: In a series of fiery posts on Monday, Musk said that the ADL is somewhat responsible for a 60% plummet in X’s advertising revenue, referring to what he stated are the organization’s unfounded allegations of anti-Semitism.
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! — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 4, 2023
