Elon Musk sparks debate on banning Anti-Defamation League from X

Published

on

Elon Musk found himself at the center of controversy over the weekend when he elevated an antisemitic campaign aimed at banning the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) from his social media platform.

Musk’s tweet, posted on Saturday, responded to a notorious extremist pundit who had noted that the hashtag #BanTheADL was trending on the platform, formerly known as Twitter. In his tweet, Musk suggested, “Perhaps we should run a poll on this?”

The Tesla CEO’s eyebrow-raising tweet came shortly after he liked a post from Keith Woods, a hard-right YouTube influencer, who accused the ADL of “financially blackmailing social media companies into removing free speech on their platform.” Musk responded to Woods’ tweet, stating that the ADL had made substantial efforts to exert control over X/Twitter.

However, by Monday, Musk attempted to mitigate the uproar surrounding his tweet, emphasizing, “To be super clear, I’m pro free speech, but against antisemitism of any kind.”

The campaign to ban the ADL emerged following a meeting last Wednesday between X’s CEO, Linda Yaccarino, and the ADL’s President, Jonathan Greeblatt. The meeting focused on X’s moderation of hate speech on its platform, with Greeblatt tweeting about the “very frank + productive conversation” regarding steps X should take to address hate effectively.

Greeblatt also mentioned that the ADL would closely monitor X’s actions and would acknowledge improvements if they occurred, while reserving the right to criticize the platform until such improvements took place.

Iran buries nuclear site entrances amid rising tensions with the U.S.

Published

Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.

The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.

The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

Trump hints at military pressure as U.S. and Iran resume nuclear talks

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.

Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.

Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
