The Musk vs ADL (and the censorship industrial complex) battle escalated further this morning with the X/Twitter owner highlighting a new article from Newsweek saying that "ADL Has Lost Its Way":

"The ADL taught me that nastygrams from Jew haters were just the price we pay for liberty, worthy of being filed and forgotten," writes Ron Coleman in the op-ed.

"This is not Weimar Germany; it is America. We have a First Amendment, we have civil rights, we have a working democracy.

That is part of the good we have done.

"But" Coleman explains, "the ADL no longer believes this..."

"It has become part of a great online censorship machine that is being exposed day after day as an anti-free speech enterprise."

The following clip suggests just that...

As Coleman concludes:

"The ADL's efforts to censor Twitter confirms what we have known for years: Not only is today's ADL not doing the world some good. It is doing something much worse. How much longer will we be allowed to say so?"

Greenblatt then appeared on CNBC this morning to respond to Musk's threats. 

He got his initial talking points in without much push back from the anchors:

rising anti-semitism everywhere,

Musk allowing "hardened anti-semites" back on the platform,

Greenblatt seemed to walk back his views on free-speech ("hate speech is the price of free speech"),

and said that he didn't think Musk was anti-semitic or Twitter as a platform was anti-semitic,

but ended by framing the victim narrative: "let's be clear here, this is the wealthiest man in the world running one of the most powerful media platforms on the planet... and we're a non-profit, here in New York, so I think figuring out who has the power in this relationship... is pretty clear to me."
