#BanTheADL went viral on Twitter/X on Thursday night after Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt revealed he had a meeting with X CEO Linda Yaccarino on expanding censorship in the name of fighting “hate.”
“I had a very frank + productive conversation with @LindayaX yesterday about @X, what works and what doesn’t, and where it needs to go to address hate effectively on the platform,” Greenblatt, a pro-Israel lobbyist and the leading voice for internet censorship, said. “I appreciated her reaching out and I’m hopeful the service will improve. @ADL will be vigilant and give her and @ElonMusk cred

Though Musk has criticized the ADL in the past, the meeting just so happened to come only days after Attorney General Merrick Garland — a close associate of Greenblatt’s — sued Elon Musk’s SpaceX for hiring Americans over refugees and asylum seekers.
The WSJ reported on Wednesday that Garland’s DOJ and Gary Gensler at the SEC are both now working on another lawsuit against Musk’s company Tesla.
From CNBC, “Tesla reportedly facing DOJ, SEC probes over plans to build Elon Musk a large glass house”:
Tesla is reportedly facing two new federal probes over possible misuse of company resources by or for the personal benefit of CEO Elon Musk.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on Wednesday that federal prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and, separately, the Securities and Exchange Commission, are seeking information about how much Tesla has spent to plan and build a secretive project, reportedly a spacious glass house in greater Austin, Texas, thought to be for Musk’s personal use.
