Elon Musk to meet Netanyahu amidst ADL dispute.
Elon Musk and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Meet
A highly anticipated meeting between Elon Musk, owner of X, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled for Monday. This exciting development was confirmed by several anonymous sources to the Washington Post.
The meeting comes in the wake of Musk’s public denial of the Anti-Defamation League’s accusations of antisemitism against himself and X. Musk, who acquired X last year, expressed his strong stance against the ADL on September 4, accusing them of attempting to undermine his platform. Since then, Musk has been vocal about the ADL, sharing his thoughts over a dozen times, including a recent video highlighting the league’s own controversies.
Schumer AI Forum Draws Attention
Meanwhile, the recent Schumer AI Forum has drawn criticism from opponents of big tech in the Senate.
“X opposes antisemitism in all its forms. Antisemitism is evil, and X is committed to fighting it on our platform,” stated CEO Linda Yaccarino. “Furthermore, X is always open to proactive collaboration with all groups in this fight.”
In a blog post, Yaccarino further clarified that X has implemented a zero tolerance approach and continues to update its watchlist with new slurs, harmful terms, and phrases.
According to Yaccarino, “by all objective metrics, X is a much healthier and safer platform than it was a year ago.” When a post is deemed “awful” but not necessarily illegal, it is labeled, de-amplified, and demonetized. Interestingly, 30% of the time, users voluntarily remove their own labeled posts.
As a result of these efforts, Coca-Cola and Visa have resumed advertising on the platform. Both companies had briefly paused their advertising after Musk took over.
Musk has even gone as far as threatening to file a defamation lawsuit against the ADL. He claims that the platform’s U.S. ad revenue remains significantly low, at 60% below previous levels.
