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.

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.
What a POS that guy is.
No wonder conservatives love him!
Discovery in this case would be 🔥
Advertising clients just love their internal communications being made public, this is a yet another genius move by Elon.
Musk said that once the controversy is stirred, X advertisers pause their spending until the ADL gives the green flag, which allegedly the ADL "will not do without" X "agreeing to secretly suspend or shadow-ban any account they don’t like."
"That is the relationship they’ve had with X/Twitter for many years," Musk said. "Presumably, they have that with all western search or social media orgs."
What a fucking idiot...
Like, he really seems close to getting that advertisers don't like advertising with bigots, but he thinks it has to be some grand conspiracy because he just can't fathom others having empathy. Like that's just not an option to him.
There has to be a nefarious middle man to make it happen
You mean the apartheid emerald mine owner didn't teach his son empathy? Who would have guessed?
Lelz.
"I didn't foolishly waste my money making this idiotic purchase. YOU are the reason I'm losing money."
Free-speech absolutionist though right?
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.
amazing.
need to disprove the accusation of racism?
just tell everyone it's a Jew conspiracy.
While reading this article I scrolled up and the top of an embedded tweet was at the bottom coming onto the screen.
I instinctively (almost) tapped the X logo in its upper right corner thinking it was an ad.
The correct behaviour tbh
"musk says"
Elon Musk is the one of greatest mental Gymnast the world's ever seen!
Simone Biles level
Ironic how a service that can be run by volunteers on a decently low cost got taken over by one of the richest men on the planet, who then can't keep it alive because of financial problems. 😅😂
"Oh, the irony." indeed. 😂
More like sad how such a sad fucker can coast for so long on inherited wealth and reputation by buying up useful stuff and taking credit for what was developed by actual smart people
You forgot the part where he then ruins those things he takes credit for and starts to defame other groups to shift the blame. 😅
Yeah you fucking dumb shit...it's totes other folks fault your ignorant narcissistic dumb shit actions ruined a multi billion dollar company.
Here's a crazy idea. How about a bunch of us donate to the ADL and have tribute cards sent to chief twit's headquarters.
I wonder if his brain ended up like one of those Teslas?
stuck in park with a traffic cone on its head... yup, sounds about right.
I hope they spank him so hard his dad feels it.
Bleed.
Good.
Malignant narcissism is a hell of a drug.
The big baby routine
Bruh why is ADL still posting to xitter
To piss Elon off. Bait him into banning them.
Muskovite's latest scam.
We should be so lucky.
