SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: Elon Musk has threatened to launch a $22 billion lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for allegedly trying to destroy X (formerly Twitter) by accusing it of being antisemitic.
Founded in 1913, the ADL is a Jewish civil liberties organization that is currently headed by its CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt.
The 52-year-old tech mogul took to his handle on Monday, September 4 to declare that X may have no choice but to file a defamation lawsuit against ADL "to clear our platform's name on the matter of anti-Semitism."

"It looks like we have no choice but to file a defamation lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League … oh the irony!" Musk wrote in a series of tweets.
'In our case, they would potentially be on the hook for destroying half the value of the company, so roughly $22 billion,' he added.
Why does Elon Musk want to sue ADL?Musk is blaming ADL for X's rapidly declining revenues. In May, it was reported that the micro-blogging platform has lost one-third of its value since Musk bought it in October, going from $45 billion to $15 billion in just six months, according to Daily Mail.
"Since the acquisition, The @ADL has been trying to kill this platform by falsely accusing it & me of being anti-Semitic," Musk wrote in an initial tweet.
"Our US advertising revenue is still down 60 percent, primarily due to pressure on advertisers by @ADL (that's what advertisers tell us), so they almost succeeded in killing X/Twitter," his tweet continued.
He stated in another tweet that he believes the ADL is to blame for as much as 50% of Twitter's declining worth - "roughly $22 billion."
Earlier in the day, Musk reacted to a tweet from X News Daily in which the publication shared that X's US advertising revenue had decreased by almost 60%.
