Prominent “free-speech absolutist” threatens to sue Jewish anti-hate group because it engaged in free speech he didn’t like.

"Elon Musk has threatened to sue the Anti-Defamation League after accusing the civil rights group that campaigns against antisemitism and bigotry of trying to “kill” his X social media platform.

“The owner of X, formerly known as Twitter, said the ADL was trying to shut down his company by ‘falsely accusing it and me of being antisemitic’.”

If your list of enemies includes the ADL, then there’s a more-than-reasonable chance that you’re an anti-semite.

    i’m looking forward to hearing his made-up defense against this made-up attack, like “this is hurtful, i am not antisemetic, i love the Jewish people”.

    Elon, the federal court does not exist to validate your feelings. you are wasting peoples’ valuable time and resources.
