(PM.) Twitter owner Elon Musk told the activist leader of the far-left Anti-Defamation Leagueto stop “defaming” him after he announced on Saturday that Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States, will be reinstated to Twitter.
The CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, a former Obama administration official, posted, “For @elonmusk to allow Donald Trump back on Twitter, ostensibly after a brief poll, shows he is not remotely serious about safeguarding the platform from hate, harassment and misinformation,” to which Musk replied, “Hey stop defaming me!”

Musk decided to bring Trump back after a poll of more than 15 million users indicated they wanted the former leader back on the platform.
Ian Miles Cheong responded to Musk, saying “The ADL and the coalition of ‘anti-hate’ activists acted in bad faith when they had their meeting with you because they went ahead and called for a massive advertiser boycott even before you lifted Trump’s ban. They had no intention of playing nice when you took over Twitter.”
Earlier in November, Musk met with Greenblatt and a cohort of far left “civil society leaders” in what Musk described as a meeting to help Twitter in its fight against “hate and harassment” and to create strategies that would create election integrity policies.
