Elon Musk Ruthlessly Mocked on His Own Platform After Announcing He’s Suing the Anti-Defamation League for Defamation

I love the implication that the erratic management, mass layoffs, incoherent moderation, destruction of verification, decimated engineering staff, serial unbanning of racists, and crumbling infrastructure had nothing to do with twitter losing half its value. Nope, just Jews. pic.twitter.com/zW4fFAQASb

It’s all kind of vaguely stated but the only thing I have gleaned from Elon Musk’s public melt down about ADL and his advertisers this weekend is that “X” is not doing very well financially

A reminder.: #ElonMusk paid $44B for #Twitter, decimated the dep’t & leadership responsible for reducing hate on the platform & hate, including #antisemitism DOUBLED according to a peer reviewed study. https://t.co/vaKZydsXPK. On-line hate doesn’t stay on line.

Companies that continue to advertise on Twitter/ @X are sponsoring antisemitism. It is apparent to me that @elonmusk tweeting against @ADL and @JGreenblattADL is targeting them for harassment. https://t.co/yOjDinJmC9

There are many reasons advertisers are fleeing this platform, but the @ADL isn’t one of them. This claim by Musk is appalling. https://t.co/4F2SLPm1mo

We should be clear-eyed about what Elon Musk is setting up here. He's setting up a narrative whereby, if Twitter fails because of his bad management, he gets to blame it on the ADL (which for many of his fanboys, means "the Jews"). He's crafting his own Dolchstoßlegende. pic.twitter.com/fBwQhmf8Dx

Yeah, expose yourself to all kinds of discovery on the reality of your platform’s metrics. Brilliant idea. https://t.co/OwouCTTkbI

The best part of Elon Musk's antisemitic ranting about the ADL is that he chose to go public with it while replying to a White Supremacist antisemite. It's like he ripped his own Scooby Doo villain mask off before the gang even solved the crime.

Thinking about the time a boy pushed little Elon Musk down a flight of stairs, injuring him so badly he had to be hospitalized, and Musk's own father essentially said he had it coming.
