In recent years, Elon Musk (reportedly worth $251.3 billion) has become increasingly right-wing in his political positions, as well as increasingly mercurial and unhinged in the view of many. One of the latest examples of his questionable judgment: His acquisition of Twitter, which he has rebranded as X. Since Musk took over the online social media giant, it has been embroiled in one controversy after another, and its revenues have plunged. Now the 52-year-old Musk has decided to blame X’s financial problems on the Anti-Defamation League.
Quote: “The unrelenting stream of menacing posts targeting the ADL has not been without consequence. Greenblatt told CNN on Wednesday that the ADL has seen a surge in threats directed at the organization since Musk began waging his campaign of bullying against the renowned institution. As a result, Greenblatt said, the ADL has been forced to increase its security. “We always receive threatening language,” Greenblatt said by phone. “I get it personally. It’s directed at other staff. But it certainly has intensified in the last week.”
