So lemme get this straight. Elon Musk is accusing the Anti Defamation League of Defamation, not because their accusation that hate speech has a platform on twitter is false, since be knows exactly who let the hate speakers onto the platform as the "free speech absolutist", but because they pointed it out?
And then he jumps to "they're calling me an antisemite" which feels like hanging yourself by your own rope by jumping to conclusions.
Yeah dude. Gotta tell ya. If the ADL, ACLU, or Southern Poverty Law Firm say you suck, I'm going to side with them
Edit: spelling mistakes
The thing is this shit works for right wingers. They genuinely believe that the ADL calling someone an antisemite, or even suggesting they might be, is the same as the government kicking your door down and murdering you because you used "free speech"
i'm looking forward to hearing his made-up defense against this made-up attack, like "this is hurtful, i am not antisemetic, i love the Jewish people".
Elon, the federal court does not exist to validate your feelings. you are wasting peoples' valuable time and resources.
"I'm not antisemitic, Kanye is one of my best friend"
"I'm not antisemitic, I watched Schindler's List."
He'd most likely have been the guy making out during Schindler's List.
