Musk sues ADL

Click above for the video 
I’m a big fan of Elon Musk and a big fan of X (Twitter). A self-confessed "free speech absolutist". The remedy for bad speech is good speech. Debate. 

Problem is the Left has abandoned the idea of debate, because it found something more effective: simply stop the other side. Do so by throttling their revenue stream. By scaring advertisers off X. Which they do by misrepresenting the amount of “hate speech” on X. Or outright lying. The pusillanimous panjandrums who are today’s corporate elites don’t do their own assessments; they simply accept the “findings” of the likes of the Anti Defamation League. Or the bogus Institute of Strategic Studies, that I’ve had words with before. 

And so Musk is going after them for destroying billions of Twitter value, for bogus reasons. Nate the Lawyer covers it here.

Snip from the vid:
BBC guy to Musk: I’ve seen more hate speech on the “For You” of Twitter since you bought it.
Musk: can you give an example?
BBC guy: … err, umm... well, no…
Musk: what, not even one example?!
BBC guy: well, I don’t use the “For You” really...
Musk: so you’re lying !
BBC guy: let’s move on…
