DailyWire’s Ben Shapiro summed issues up succinctly:

“Elon Musk is now at war with the Anti-Defamation League, a progressive interest group that proclaims it is speaking in the name of Jewish causes. And like a lot of these progressive interest groups, they are interested in removing advertising revenue from sources where they can’t control the speech.

Musk posted on X saying the ADL has been trying to kill his platform by falsely accusing him of being anti-semitic, and that If this continues, he’ll have no choice but to file a defamation suit against, ironically, the Anti Defamation League.

Elon Musk happens to be correct about all of that, which is why it’s very important that if you’re an advertiser and you are looking at platforms to advertise on, you probably should be looking at free speech platforms like X – otherwise X will revert back to type and it’s going to do the same kind of crap that Facebook and YouTube have done in censoring material.”

“Because the answer is ‘Yes!’ regarding seeking donations, hence JG’s refusal to answer the question,” Musk responded. “JG instead went on the attack, implying that Sorkin, despite being Jewish, is somehow an anti-Semite just for asking a basic conflict-of-interest question!”

Because the reply is “Yes!” relating to looking for donations, therefore JG’s refusal to reply the query.

JG as a substitute went on the assault, implying that Sorkin, regardless of being Jewish, is one way or the other an anti-Semite only for asking a primary conflict-of-interest query! 🤣

The ADL performed a significant function in having you fired by publicly branding you an anti-Semite.

Watching you now go to bat for them and doing precisely the identical factor to the ADL’s critics — volunteering to face up and name the ADL’s critics anti-Semitic — is simply wild. pic.twitter.com/rj16SKYWF0
