'Free speech absolutist' Elon Musk is threatening to sue the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The group has allegedly tried to "kill" the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, with false accusations of antisemitism and advertiser boycotts, according to Musk. In a series of posts, the billionaire said that the ADL's pressure campaign on advertisers to leave X over its content moderation policies was primarily responsible for a 60 percent drop in the site's U.S. ad revenue.
"If this continues, we will have no choice but to file a defamation suit against, ironically, the 'Anti-Defamation' League," said Musk. "If they lose the defamation suit, we will insist that they drop [sic] the 'anti' part of their name."
