"To clear our platform's name on the matter of anti-Semitism, it looks like we have no choice but to file a defamation lawsuit against the ADL," Musk posted, saying, "Oh the irony!"


Musk has blamed the ADL and other groups for the exodus of advertisers that the platform, formerly known as Twitter, has experienced since Musk took charge last year.



On Monday, he accused the ADL of "trying to kill this platform by falsely accusing it and me of being anti-Semitic," adding that "our U.S. advertising revenue is still down 60%, primarily due to pressure on advertisers by @ADL (that's what advertisers tell us), so they almost succeeded in killing X/Twitter!" Twitter sued the Center for Countering Digital Hate in July, accusing the nonprofit of trying to hurt Twitter's advertising business.
