Part 8/10:
Adding layers to this landscape is the relationship between the ADL and social media platforms, exemplified by Elon Musk's stewardship of Twitter, now called X. After initially criticizing Musk for allowing anti-Semitic rhetoric to proliferate on the platform, the ADL's tone softened following Musk's overtures towards pro-Israel narratives. This shift raises concerns about the organization's integrity and its perceived complicity in current political narratives.
Musk's public figures—especially his actions that have drawn parallels to fascistic symbolism—have complicated the ADL's mission. The organization’s responses appear contingent on political alliances rather than a steadfast commitment to combating anti-Semitism across the board.
