Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / ELON MUSK To Sue The ADL For Defamation?
Transcript
- 0:00So I don't know what to think about X these days formally Twitter. On
- 0:04one hand, you've got CEO Linda Yacarino enforcing this freedom of reach but not
- 0:09freedom of speech policy and lawful but awful, which is obviously just shadow banning
- 0:16two point zero four saying things that somebody at Twitter doesn't like, or that
- 0:22an organization like the ADL tells Twitter now X that they don't like. So
- 0:27you've got that going on. But then on the other hand, you've got
- 0:30Elon Musk threatening to sue the ADL, which I like because the ADL is
- 0:36just a fraudulent, obviously partisan political operation. Here's what Elon Musk himself said
- 0:42to clear our platform's name on the matter of anti Semitism. It looks like
- 0:47we have no choice but to file a defamation lawsuit against the Anti Defamation League.
- 0:53Oh the irony. And if you want to know what a joke the
- 0:56ADL has become, well, let's take a look at their hate some database.
- 1:00So these are the very first things on it. Okay, one hundred
- 1:03percent, one hundred and nine, one hundred and ten, one eleven,
- 1:07twelve, thirteen, fourteen, one four two three, one four, eight
- 1:14eight eighteen, twenty one, two, twelve, twenty three, sixteen,
- 1:18twenty three, three one one three, eighteen, thirty three, six thirty
- 1:23eight, forty three, five eleven, seven, thirty seven, eighty three,
- 1:30eighty eight. So that's a lot of numbers. What about twenty five
- 1:33You think you're safe for twenty five? Well, twelve plus thirteen? Yeah,
- 1:37sorry Nazi. Yeah. If you've just recovered from a cold and somebody
- 1:41asks how you're doing and you say you're one hundred percent, well that means
- 1:45you're one hundred percent eight and probably on your way to apogrum. Alex said
- 1:49this wouldn't be the first time the Defamation League would be found to have defamed
- 1:55people. And here it says judge finds eighty l ten point five million in
- 2:00Colorado defamation suit, to which Elon Musk replied, interesting, in our case,
- 2:06they would potentially be on the hook for destroying half the value of the
- 2:09company, so roughly twenty two billion. Well, that's a lot of defamation.
- 2:15And yet people are having fun with this on the internet. Everyone I
- 2:19don't like is anti Semitic. An Emotional Child's Guide to Politics, Elon Musk
- 2:24wrote this about Jonathan Greenblatt who is the head of the ADL. He said
- 2:30Jonathan at ADL kicked off a massive Twitter boycott campaign less than a week after
- 2:35the acquisition closed. Literally nothing had changed about the site. Our US revenue
- 2:40is still sixty percent down from that campaign, but slowly improving. And here's
- 2:46the tweet from the ADL today. We are joining dozens of other groups to
- 2:50ask advertisers to pause Twitter spending because we are profoundly concerned about anti Semitism and
- 2:58hate on the platforms. Look in on this here. Elon Musk retweeted this.
- 3:04He says accurate analysis from Mariot Norfall, debunking the lies in ADL's response
- 3:09to Elon Musk in response to him seeing that he's going to sue them,
- 3:13he claimed that Elon brought and amplified anti semitism and hate speech back to the
- 3:19platform. This is not true. The X Safety team shared that an independent
- 3:23assessment by Sprinkler found that hate speech impressions on X to be point zero zero
- 3:30three percent compared to Twitter's estimate of point zero one two percent, so it
- 3:36actually went down again. Elon Musk says, accurate analysis, So I wonder
- 3:42what it's really about. Then, well, Interestingly, I found this on
- 3:46the FBI dot gov website. Here James B. Coomi, Director Federal Bureau
- 3:53of an Investigation. This was from May twenty seventeen, and this was a
- 3:57speech he gave at the Anti Affirmation League National Leadership Summit in Washington, d
- 4:02C. He said, I first met with you in the spring of twenty
- 4:05fourteen, when I was relatively new on the job, just seven months in.
- 4:11I sang your praises as an organization that fights for inclusivity and diversity,
- 4:15equality and justice, an organization that works with us to fight hate crime and
- 4:20terrorism, to educate law enforcement, and to build bridges with underrepresented communities.
- 4:28Keep in mind, this is James Comey saying this, all right, Yeah,
- 4:31the same at James come that for some reason the DOJ declined to prosecute.
- 4:36They seemed to like prosecuting political figures these days. I would know why
- 4:40they didn't prosecute him. But the same James Comey that the DOJ declined to
- 4:45prosecute despite finding that he leaked info. And why did he leak info?
- 4:49It was to hurt Donald Trump. But anyway, at back to the letter,
- 4:55I labeled that last speech a love letter to the ad L three years
- 4:59later can say, from the perspective of the FBI, we're still in love
- 5:02with you. You know who else loves the ADL Biden administration. They get
- 5:08to go to the White House to talk about a confronting domestic extremism. Not
- 5:12this kind or this kind or this kind, but you know this kind,
- 5:21the important kind. You know, tweets and people tweeting things they don't like.
- 5:28Oh and as for the CEO of the ADL, Jonathan Greenblatt, oh
- 5:32well, he was a special Assistant to the President for President Obama. How
- 5:36about that. Seems like there's a pretty cozy relationship between the ADL and the
- 5:42Democratic Party, and one might wonder if perhaps they don't work together to get
- 5:48rid of the voices that they don't like. Huh. Here at Wall Street,
- 5:54Silver said, the ADL is a left wing group focused on controlling corporations
- 5:59in US to a political ideology. It has nothing to do with its original
- 6:03mission. If you don't obey them, they will defame you by calling you
- 6:08anti and insert slur. And that's referencing the original tweet by Elon Musk saying
- 6:14that the ADL had kicked off a massive Twitter boycott campaign less than a week
- 6:18after the acquisition closed, and literally nothing had changed about the site in that
- 6:24time. Of course, again, it sure looks like there's something else at
- 6:28play, right, And remember that Elon Musk was promising free speech, and
- 6:31yes, I know he hired Yacarino after that. And now there's the freedom
- 6:35of speech but not of reach, and lawful but awful and all that nonsense.
- 6:42But this is before all of that. But Elon Musk replied to Wall
- 6:45Streets over there saying one hundred and oh according to the ADL, that's a
- 6:50hate crime. Anyway, That's all I got to say about that. Please
- 6:54subscribe, like and share Shark really helps me out. I thank you for
- 6:57that. I will see you next time. Two
