Fire Jonathan Greenblatt

Mr. Greenblatt is currently President of the Anti Defamation League. (ADL)

This sad sack once unironically compared Elon Musk to notorious antisemite Henry Ford as a compliment, has now decide that the ADL will resume advertising on the social network formerly known as Twitter. 

Seriously, why the f%$# have you decided to line the pockets of this antisemite?

Following weeks [actually months, but who's counting?] during which Elon Musk has attacked the Anti-Defamation League and threatened to sue it for billions of dollars, the Jewish civil rights group announced that it would resume advertising on X, the social media platform Musk owns.

In a statement on Wednesday, the ADL said X, along with similar sites, still “has a serious issue with antisemites and other extremists using these platforms to push their hateful ideas and, in some cases, bully Jewish and other users.”

Elon Musk, the owner of the platform actively supports and follows antisemites and other bigots on the site.  This is not a problem that everyone has.  

Elon Musk is a bigot, and a racist, and he glories in promoting bigots and racists.

But the group cited declarations by the leadership of X, which Musk renamed from Twitter, that it would combat antisemitism. Musk has had livestreamed conversations recently with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as a group of largely right-leaning Jewish men in which he spoke out against antisemitism while also emphasizing his commitment to free speech. Also last week, X CEO Linda Yaccarino said the platform is taking steps to counter antisemitism.

And it won't stick, because Elon loves Nazis.

………

Musk and the ADL have been at odds for about a year. Soon after Musk’s takeover of the platform in 2022, the ADL encouraged companies to pause their ad spending on the site in protest of Musk removing guardrails against hate speech, though at one point, the ADL resumed its own paid ads on the platform.

Which it should never have done.

………

In its statement, the ADL repeated points its CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, had made previously in recent interviews with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and other outlets — including that it wants to work with platforms to address antisemitism in a meaningful way; that it is committed to opposing hate across the political spectrum; and that it is not the driving force behind X’s significant loss of ad revenue.

Let Elon sue.  You will tear him up in discovery. 

Under Greenblatt's watch, Elon has regularly negotiated with the ADL and not held up his side of the bargain.

He is not credible, and he's a bigot, and he wants Twitter to be a cesspool of antisemitism and bigotry because these people are his Stans now.

Paying him money just reinforces his behavior.
