This is the best summary I could come up with:
Elon Musk posted that he was against antisemitism Monday and blamed the Anti-Defamation League for lost advertising revenue since his acquisition of X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
A spokesperson referred NBC News to a general statement the organization made in response to a recent #BanTheADL campaign on the platform, which Musk has engaged with.
Imran Ahmed, the nonprofit's founder and chief executive, accused Musk of bullying in a statement at the time, describing the suit as "straight out of the authoritarian playbook."
"While we have no way to actually verify if the company is de-amplifying antisemitic content, we have found that Twitter is failing to take down tweets that clearly violate hateful conduct policies," the report said.
"The data conclusively shows that there is a correlation between Musk’s arrival and a broader perceived acceptability to posted hostile content on Twitter," the university said.
In April, the social media site received backlash for seemingly stepping back from a longstanding policy that aimed to protect transgender people on the platform.
