Elon Musk took to the platform formerly known as Twitter Monday to take aim at the Anti-Defamation League, accusing the organization of intentionally trying to "kill" his company by driving down its ad revenue in the United States and Europe. Musk also vows to file a defamation lawsuit against the ADL, if these alleged circumstances continue.
Elon claims the ADL has falsely accused him of being anti-Semitic.
The platform's CEO declared he's against anti-Semitism, but in favor of free speech.
Elon alleges in another tweet that the ADL has made "unfounded accusations" that have pressured advertisers to hold off on getting involved with Twitter. He claims these advertisers will continue to stand pat until the ADL gets what it wants, which is an agreement from Twitter to "secretly suspend or shadowban any account they don’t like."
