Elon Musk is blaming the Anti-Defamation League for a slump in US advertising revenue on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
Ad sales are still down 60 per cent “primarily due to pressure on advertisers” mounted by the ADL, Musk said in a series of posts on Monday.The non-profit organisation has been “trying to kill” the platform since he bought it last year, by “falsely accusing” it and him ofMusk said he was “pro free speech” but against anti-Semitism “of any kind.”
The ADL has said that reports of harassment and extremist content on the platform have spiked since Musk’s takeover. While X no longer needs to bring US advertising revenue back to prior levels in order to survive, it “would be nice” to see the numbers bounce back, Musk added in another post. He emphasised the need for X to be a public forum for all and suggested that the ADL express its demands openly and explicitly.Bloomberg
