    Musk didn’t wait long to jump on the anti-Semitic tropes. Jews run the system, Jews run the banks, and so on. What a POS that guy is.

    Rich guys like Musk spend so much time getting their ego stoked that I think he might genuinely be unable to process the idea that he made a mistake. The wealthy can never fail, only be failed.

    This is purely for attention. They are a non-profit, and certainly have nowhere near even 1/10th of that money. Say he did win a civil case, that’d shut down the ADL into bankruptcy, then they re-launch fresh.

    He knows that, but he’s also a sociopath and any and all attention is all he really wants.

      The ADL have encouraged a boycott of advertising on Ex-Twitter because it didn’t do enough to censor nazis. Advertisers have pulled their funds. Ex-Twitter was never a great place to run ads (I’ve tried) and recently it’s become a shit show.

      I don’t see how, in any of this, there is any credible case for slander/libel he can make against the ADL. And there is no way in hell that any judge would actually award $22bil in hypothetical ad revenue.

      And because he’s an insecure aged boy, he doesn’t have the intellect and emotional maturity to grapple with the fact his decisions are why he’s failing

      Has to blame someone else

        I still have trouble believing that Elon can possibly be this dumb. There’s something willful about everything he’s doing and that includes intentionally ruining Twitter. Yes, a lot of this is for attention and theatrics, but he didn’t need to buy then tank a social media platform for that.

      Advertising clients just love their internal communications being made public, this is a yet another genius move by Elon.

    Musk has said that unless the ADL acts unlawfully, he won’t ban the ADL from X.

    I predict that he’s going to ban them on, let’s say, Friday this week.
