Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his firm X have threatened a defamation suit against the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). While he did not disclose further details about the lawsuit, the ADL has followed Musk’s controversial actions in the past.
The ADL is a Jewish non-profit organization dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism. Musk’s post comes as he faces controversy over his statements on the social platform. Meanwhile, he has held ADL accountable for declining advertising revenue on X.
The Anti-Defamation League reported increased cases of anti-semitism on X after Elon Musk unblocked suspended accounts. Nonetheless, the Tesla chief clarified that he is against anti-Semitism but supports free speech.

May reports indicated that X has recorded declining revenue since Musk purchased the micro-blogging platform in October, plunging to $15 billion from $45 billion within six months. Musk believes ADL’s pressure on promoters contributes to the 60% dip in X’s U.S. ad revenue.
