    Musk said that once the controversy is stirred, X advertisers pause their spending until the ADL gives the green flag, which allegedly the ADL “will not do without” X “agreeing to secretly suspend or shadow-ban any account they don’t like.”

    “That is the relationship they’ve had with X/Twitter for many years,” Musk said. “Presumably, they have that with all western search or social media orgs.”

    What a fucking idiot…

    Like, he really seems close to getting that advertisers don’t like advertising with bigots, but he thinks it has to be some grand conspiracy because he just can’t fathom others having empathy. Like that’s just not an option to him.
