The tech mogul said Monday he was considering legal action after blaming pressure from the Anti-Defamation League for lost advertisers.

    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.

    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.

      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?

    Why would he blame Intel for releasing Alder Lake?

    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.

      And of course anyone you say is bad could never do anything good. That’s a big paintbrush you’re wielding and you seem to be spilling some on yourself.

        Demonizing Palestinians and justifying apartheid and ethnic cleansing is good?

        I will grant you that Elon Musk doesn’t care about the bad things that the ADL does and only that they are Jewish. But it doesn’t mean we have to defend the ADL.
