Musk: "X's Sharp Decline in US Sales Is Due to Jewish Organizations"

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, blamed the decline in X's (formerly Twitter) U.S. revenue on the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a Jewish advocacy group.

On the 4th (local time), Musk stated on his X account that advertising revenue in the U.S. has still decreased by 60%, without specifying the exact comparison period. He claimed, "This is due to ADL's pressure on advertisers," arguing that ADL pressured advertisers not to advertise on X, which significantly reduced revenue.

Musk added that since he acquired Twitter last year, ADL has been "trying to kill" the platform by falsely accusing Twitter and himself of being "anti-Semitic," and warned, "If the accusations continue, legal action may be taken." He also said, "I support freedom of the press, but I oppose all forms of anti-Semitism."

Earlier, ADL harshly criticized Musk after he restored the account of American rapper Kanye West, who had been sanctioned for anti-Semitic remarks, stating that reports of extremist content on X have surged.

In another post, Musk expressed hope, saying, "X does not need to restore U.S. advertising revenue to previous levels to survive, but it would be nice to see those numbers recover."

He continued, "X should be a public forum for everyone," suggesting that ADL should publicly and explicitly state its demands. Musk said, "In my opinion, it is excessive, but the public will probably agree."
