Elon Musk is taking the fight to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) after its recent claims regarding the tech mogul and X (formerly Twitter) as antisemitic. In Musk's recent posts online, he claimed that he would sue the ADL because of their claims, at the same time blaming them for the platform's revenue loss because of this issue, taking the fight online via the social media.
Over the past hours, the tech billionaire has been speaking his mind against this recent controversy involving him and X, clarifying his stand on antisemitism.

If you are following Elon Musk, he has a lot to say in the recent hours of his activity online, all talking about the recent shade thrown at him by the Anti-Defamation League, with the tech executive claiming that lawsuits will soon follow. Musk claims he will file a defamation lawsuit against the ADL, further citing that it was an ironic incident as their name claims to be against it.
The accusations were thrown at Elon Musk and his social media, X, with the ADL claiming that both entities were antisemitic claims in earlier reports.
Musk also posted an earlier statement where he clarified that he is pro-free speech, but is against antisemitism of any kind.

In his clarification post, Musk also added in the thread that since he acquired the platform, the ADL has been gunning to "kill" the platform. According to his words, there were earlier false accusations against him and X of being antisemitic.
He also cited the recent numbers of the company, where its US advertising revenue dropped by as much as 60 percent because of ADL's "pressure on advertisers," almost succeeding in "killing X/Twitter."
Elon Musk and His Controversies
Over the years, Elon Musk has grown famous because of his massive influence and companies that brought significant services to the world including Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Co., alongside his recent purchase of Twitter, now named X.
However, even when Musk was still focused on Tesla, he managed to gain notoriety online, and this was because of the practice of his "free speech" where his "funding secured" tweet became a controversy for the SEC.
Back in December 2022, the controversial return of Kanye West had Musk using his hand to take the rapper's account down again, with Ye still posting anti-semitic tweets. This was after his initial return in October, with Ye being welcomed back to the platform and 12 hours after, the rapper getting his account temporarily suspended immediately after his tweet.
The eccentric tech billionaire is a massive pro-free speech advocate, but in his clarification, this does not mean that users or even himself are permitted to step out of bounds that hurt certain communities or groups. Now, he is taking the fight to the Anti-Defamation League, with the organization accusing the tech CEO falsely, and Musk not taking this claim lightly.
