So he lost advertisers not because of antisemitism, but because someone complained.
Makes perfect sense.
I'm sure the prospect of having your company's name displayed alongside actual Nazi content has nothing to do with it.
No, no - he means he blames the ADL for making most people not like Nazis.
Remember, he grew up a rich white boy in full apartheid South Africa, and never matured beyond that. He has no ability for self-reflection or introspection. Which means he's never wrong, so someone else must be to blame. So far, that's included religious, racial, and sexual minorities. He's only going to grow more deranged as time goes on.
Rich white boy whose parents wealth directly came from apartheid oppression*
What did his parents do? Because wow that explains a lot.
Emerald mine.
Weren’t they also weapons smugglers? He talked about him and his dad flying with a plane load of contraband including AK-47s.
How else do you arm your private security to keep your slaves in line.
He can’t accept for one second that HE is the one who fucked Twitter, so now he’s blowing a dog whistle and saying the ADL did it. Ok.
I guess the only time the ADL is credited for helping solve a problem is when they weren't the ones to actually help solve it at all
"I am ✋the 👌least anti-Semitic person ✋◀️▶️✋, ✋▶️◀️✋ you 🫵 have ever met👌"
Literally every single day we have idiots doing Musk’s PR work for free.
Downvote Musk spam. The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle.
Usually I agree with that but this is such an obvious example of blazen antisemitism that it is newsworthy. I'm sorry but this is on the same level as Henry Ford and Lindberg.
I am happy to help Musk further reduce his advertising revenue, but it does appear he's pretty good at doing that himself.
Deliberate ignorance is not the answer. Allowing him to do his shady shit unnoticed is not a good idea, regardless of how much of an attention craving narcissist he is.
Didn’t he make reply-tweets such as “interesting” on obvious anti-Semitic tweets?
Blame the victims! Nicely done.
Blaming the Jews for your problems, problems you yourself have caused and continue to cause, precisely what Musk is doing here, is the very dictionary definition of antisemitism
"I denounce antisemitism! This is all the Jews' fault."
Like the ADL has sway anywhere. They've gone too far into equating criticism of Israel meaning antisemitism. His problem is that he's actually platforming Nazis.
IMO if the ADL wasn't having an impact shining a spotlight on Musk's behavior, Musk wouldn't be threatening them.
Say one thing, act the opposite, people take the action over words. Shut your mouth and do the right thing instead of objectively lying with every stupid word.
Why would he blame Intel for releasing Alder Lake?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Elon Musk posted that he was against antisemitism Monday and blamed the Anti-Defamation League for lost advertising revenue since his acquisition of X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
A spokesperson referred NBC News to a general statement the organization made in response to a recent #BanTheADL campaign on the platform, which Musk has engaged with.
Imran Ahmed, the nonprofit's founder and chief executive, accused Musk of bullying in a statement at the time, describing the suit as "straight out of the authoritarian playbook."
"While we have no way to actually verify if the company is de-amplifying antisemitic content, we have found that Twitter is failing to take down tweets that clearly violate hateful conduct policies," the report said.
"The data conclusively shows that there is a correlation between Musk’s arrival and a broader perceived acceptability to posted hostile content on Twitter," the university said.
In April, the social media site received backlash for seemingly stepping back from a longstanding policy that aimed to protect transgender people on the platform.
The original article contains 697 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 76%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Twitter continuing its legacy of being a place where nutty people find weird little hills of bigotry to die on for no reason.
the ADL are bad for every meaning of the word 'bad', regardless of X or Elon. Elon being bad doesn't cancel the ADL being bad.
