There are a host of reasons for X’s advertising revenue dropping, including: Even if Musk could prove liability on a strained theory and hyperbolic “expert” evidence, where this case comes back to reality is in proving causation. Musk’s main complaint is the ADL’s accusation that X-the platform formerly known as Twitter (Prince vibes?)-hasn’t done enough to tackle antisemitism on its platform and that this alone has caused advertising sales to drop 60 percent. Also, causation would be a complete nightmare. A vast for-profit (X) bullying a non-profit (ADL) in the courtroom is facially unattractive to a judge or jury. Why? At first blush, sympathies do not lie with Musk. This would be a complete pretzel of a suit and one destined for failure. One of the great ironies is that Musk would try to win a defamation suit against a charity whose very name is committed to the opposite: the Anti-Defamation League. Though largely, Musk is on the defensive-ably assisted by the very well-funded Alex Spiro-constructing a ropey, knee-jerk defamation against the ADL, a non-profit committed to stamping out all forms of racism, including antisemitism. Musk has led with his chin in the world of shooting off his mouth, as any self-respecting cave-diving teacher will tell you.
There is no doubt that Elon Musk is the visionary of our age, changing the world with technologies that none of us ever dreamed could exist.
